Ingredients
- 20 ounces salmon filets two large 10 ounce fillets, or four small 5 ounce fillets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon salmon seasoning click link for the recipe
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400°F.
- Rub the salmon filets with olive oil, then coat in the salmon seasoning.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, in the air fryer and cook for 7 minutes.
Notes
- Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If the thickest part of your salmon is less than 1 inch thick, reduce the cooking time down to 5 minutes.
- Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 110°F (for rare) to 145°F (for well done). Remember that the salmon will continue to cook after you remove it from the air fryer. I recommend removing the salmon when it reaches 5-10 degrees under your desired temperature. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, use a fork to test when the salmon is cooked. If the salmon easily flakes with a fork, it’s done and ready to eat.
- Do not flip the salmon while it’s in the air fryer. Salmon is a very delicate piece of fish and you risk it falling apart if you try to flip it in the air fryer. The great thing about using an air fryer to cook the salmon is that the air circulates around the salmon and cooks it evenly on all sides.
- You do not need to remove the skin on the salmon before cooking it. And I actually don’t recommend it. The skin will keep the salmon moist as it cooks in the air fryer. The salmon’s flesh will easily peel away from the skin after you cook it. After eating the salmon, you can discard the leftover salmon skin.
- Always try to purchase salmon filets that are similar in size. If one piece of salmon is much smaller than the others, you might have to adjust the cooking time for that piece of salmon so that it doesn’t overcook.
- Make sure that the salmon is not touching in the air fryer. You need space around each piece of salmon for the air to circulate and cook the salmon evenly. If all of the salmon does not fit inside the air fryer basket without touching, you’ll have to cook it in batches.
