Instructions
Salmon
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205° C), pat dry with paper towel and brush olive oil on the meat side of each salmon fillet.
- In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the salmon and gently rub in with your fingers.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with spray oil (not non-stick cooking spray, this gums up your air fryer basket over time). Place salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down, in a single layer.
- Air fry for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Please note, every air fryer heats a little differently, so check on the early side for doneness. Salmon should flake easily with a fork; cook an additional 1-2 minutes if needed. For moist, buttery salmon, cook until 120-125°F and for fully cooked salmon, cook until 140-145°F - but not that it could be dry.
Tartar Sauce
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, relish, dill, lemon juice, sugar, black pepper, and chopped onion (if using). Stir well and set aside.
- Once done, garnish salmon with chopped parsley or fresh dill. Squeeze some fresh lemon over the top or serve with a lemon wedge and tartar sauce.

Notes
- To store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- How to cook frozen salmon in air fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F. Brush the frozen salmon with oil and rub with seasoning. Air fry for 7-10 minutes, or until the internal temp reaches 125°-135°F for moist, flaky salmon. For fully cooked, aim for 140°F. Check halfway through and adjust seasoning if needed. Note: Cook time may vary by air fryer.
- Best way to reheat salmon:Low and slow is the way to go if you don’t want dry salmon.
- Oven: Pop it in at 275°F, loosely cover with foil, and warm for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- Air Fryer: Set it to 300°F and heat for 3-4 minutes—just keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overcook.
- Microwave (only if you have to): Cover with a damp paper towel and heat in 30-second bursts until warmed up.
- Little tip—add a squeeze of lemon after reheating to freshen it up!
