Quick and Easy Air Fryer Salmon Recipe
This air fryer salmon recipe creates that irresistible combination of crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior that makes even picky eaters clean their plates. There's nothing quite like the aroma of perfectly cooked salmon wafting through the kitchen as the air fryer works its magic on busy weeknights.
Method
-
1
Spray the inside of the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
-
2
Dab the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to dry them off.
-
3
Rub the two fillets with the 1 tablespoon olive oil.
-
4
In a small mixing bowl, combine the dill, oregano, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Mix well to create a rub.
-
5
Spread the salt rub on the salmon fillets evenly.
-
6
When the air fryer has come to temperature spray a non-stick oil on the inside of the tray.
-
7
Place the fillets skin-side down. Make sure that there is enough room in between the fillets so they cook evenly.
-
8
Cook for 10 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees.
-
9
Remove the fillets from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and splashes of lemon juice. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
Notes
Cook time will depend on the thickness of the fillets. If they are thin, set the timer for 9 minutes. If they are very thick, set the timer for 11 minutes. Ultimately, you want the internal temperature to be at 145 to know that the salmon is done.
