Air Fryer Salmon
This is a quick and easy recipe for perfectly cooked salmon in the air fryer, with a crispy exterior and flaky interior.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 ounces Salmon Fillets skin-on or skin-off
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispier skin.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping. If cooking multiple fillets, cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and your desired level of doneness. Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
