Air Fryer Salmon
Description
This Air Fryer Salmon recipe features salmon fillets patted dry and seasoned simply with fresh lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. The seasoning enhances the salmon’s natural flavors without overwhelming its delicate taste.
Cooking the salmon in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 8 to 10 minutes yields fillets that flake easily with a fork, with a slight crispness on the outside. The method allows for minimal oil, achieved by spraying the air fryer basket, keeping the dish light.
The simple preparation is convenient for weeknight dinners or when a lean protein is needed quickly. To ensure even cooking, salmon fillets should be of similar thickness and not overcrowded in the air fryer basket.
Adding Dijon mustard to the seasoning mix can provide extra flavor. Monitoring the salmon at around 7 to 8 minutes prevents overcooking, and cooking in batches maintains the desired texture for each fillet.

Notes
