Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 6 oz salmon fillets frozen
Instructions
- Lightly spray the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray and place salmon fillets inside.
- Cook at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove from air fryer and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Optional seasoning (if using fillets that have not been pre-seasoned, packaged and frozen): Place 2 tablespoons of butter on the top of each fillet. Squeeze juice from a slice of lemon over top. This is my favorite seasoning option!
- A different way to season would be to combine garlic powder, black pepper and salt in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top before cooking. Any type of seafood rub would taste great, too.
- If there is skin on the fillet, place skin side down.
- It’s better to undercook than overcook, especially with a delicate food like salmon. If you find that your fish is not fully cooked in the center, pop it back into the air fryer for a couple minutes.
- Place the 2 fillets in the center of the air fryer basket/pot but ensure they are not touching.
- The cooking time for this recipe depends on the thickness of your fillet. For 1-inch fillets at the thickest part of the salmon, air fry for 13 minutes. For 1 1/2-inch fillets, cook for 15 minutes. For 2-inch fillets, increase time to 17 minutes.
