Once the salmon is cooked to desired doneness remove from the air fryer. OVEN COOKING METHODPlace the salmon on a sheet pan or tray lined with parchment paper, or grease a baking dish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of salmon. Once the salmon is cooked to desired doneness remove from oven and serve.Note: to check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the salmon. Internal temperature will read 145°F when cooked through.
