Ingredients
4salmon filletsabout 6 ounces each
1teaspoongarlic powder
1teaspoononion powder
1teaspoonpaprika
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonpepper
2tablespoonsoil
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.
