Notes
- As the time it takes to cook through your fish may vary due to the thickness of your fillet, I suggest you check up on it at the 8 minute mark with an instant read thermometer. Salmon is cooked through once the internal temperature has reached 120°F to 135°F.
- There is no need to flip the fish halfway through cooking it.
- If your salmon is wet or damp, be sure to pat it dry before drizzling with olive oil and seasoning. Patting it dry will help the oil and seasoning stick better.
- Be sure to remove the salmon from the air fryer basket once it has finished cooking as the residual heat from the basket will continue to cook your fillets.
- Not all air fryers are made the same. If your model requires preheating, please do so.
