Air Fryer Salmon (in 15-Minutes!)
Description
Air Fryer Salmon (in 15-Minutes!) prepares salmon filets with a mustard seasoning base combined with paprika and garlic powder to create a flavorful crust. The use of Dijon mustard adds slight tang and moisture, while the dry spices enhance the savory profile. Spraying olive oil before air frying helps retain moisture and encourages even cooking.
The salmon filets are cooked at a high temperature of 400°F, which helps the exterior develop a delicate crust while keeping the interior juicy and tender. The air fryer method speeds cooking compared to traditional oven baking, making it useful for a quick dinner.
Serving suggestions are not specified, but this salmon pairs well with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice. The recipe's short cook time fits well for busy weeknights or meals that require minimal hands-on preparation.
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon filets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- olive oil spray form
Instructions
- Prep the salmon. Set the air fryer to 400℉ (200℃). Pat your salmon filets dry with a paper towel.
- Add the mustard. On each salmon filet, spread one teaspoon of mustard evenly in a thin layer.
- Add the seasonings. Sprinkle each of the individual spices straight onto the salmon filet. It doesn't have to be an exact measurement. I start with salt and pepper, then coat generously with garlic powder and paprika. Finish with a quick spray of olive oil on top to keep the salmon filet moist.
- Air fry. Add two salmon filets to the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until flaky with a fork. Then repeat with the remaining two salmon filets.
