Notes
Tips for the perfect air fryer salmon
Make sure your fillets, whether skin on or off, are brightly colored and free from any discoloration.
Purchase fillets that are of the same thickness throughout, preferably 1 to 1-½-inches thick.
Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season by rubbing gently into flesh.
Remove salmon immediately from the hot air fryer basket to stop possible overcooking.
