Easy Air Fryer Salmon
Air fryer salmon is a fresh, healthy dinner the whole family will love. It's perfection for crispy skin and flaky fish that’s absolutely irresistible!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and pat the fillets dry using a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets evenly with the oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture over the top, coating them completely.
- Place the salmon skin-side down in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer with spacing between each filet.
- Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork, and the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning. The oil and seasonings stick much better when it's dried.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket or tray pan. If you have more fish to cook, I air fry them in batches.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheat salmon in the air fryer by cooking it in a preheated air fryer at 370 degrees for about 4 minutes until heated through.
- Use frozen salmon by cooking it in the air fryer at 390 degrees for 4 minutes to thaw it, then using this recipe as is.
