Notes
- Salmon - I only use wild salmon for my family. I can find a decent price for wild caught salmon from time to time at Costco and Whole Foods. I then cut the fish into 4 oz. pieces prior to cooking.
- Frozen Salmon - You can cook frozen raw fish in the air fryer. You will need to add on 2-4 additional minutes depending on the thickness.
- Seasoning - You can use my house seasoning blend with paprika or you could use cajun seasoning, blackening seasoning, or simply salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon.
- Preheat Air Fryer - I always recommend preheating the air fryer a few minutes prior to cooking. I'll start the air fryer then I'll season the salmon and stick it in to cook!
- Overcrowd - Make sure you don't over crowd the tray or basket. This will help ensure the fish cooks evenly and that you have crispy skin. If the fish fillets are touching one another you risk your fish being soggy and not crispy.
