  • Season the salmon:
    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin crisps up in the air fryer. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and lemon juice. Brush this glaze over the top of the salmon fillets, coating them evenly.

  • Preheat the air fryer:
    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures that the salmon will cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Air fry the salmon:
    Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.   Once done, remove the salmon from the air fryer and set aside.
  • Prepare the soba noodle sauce:
    While the salmon is cooking, prepare a quick sauce for the soba noodles. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, a drizzle of honey, and a splash of lemon juice. Stir well.
