Air Fryer Salmon

Prepare and Season the Salmon

Notes: Ensure the salmon fillets are of a comparable thickness for even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Instructions

Rub each salmon fillet with olive oil.

Season the fillets with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Gently massage the seasoning and oil onto each fillet until fully covered.

Air Frying the Salmon

Notes: Placing the salmon skin-side down is recommended. Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure the salmon becomes crispy.

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

Place the seasoned salmon in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon and your air fryer model.

Open the basket and check for desired doneness with a fork; it should flake easily.

If needed, return the salmon to the air fryer for another 1 or 2 minutes.

Serving

Notes: Store leftover air-fried salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
