Ingredients
Scale
-
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
-
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
- ½ teaspoon paprika
-
- ½ teaspoon salt
-
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
-
- Lemon wedges (optional, for garnish)
-
- Optional sauces: tartar, yogurt dill, or hot honey
Instructions
-
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
-
- Season salmon and lightly oil each fillet.
-
- Place fillets in the basket, skin-side down.
-
- Cook for 7–10 minutes (depending on thickness).
-
- Use a fork to check doneness—the salmon should flake easily and be opaque throughout.

Notes
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Adjust cook time slightly based on your air fryer model and salmon thickness.
