Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to get a crispy exterior.
  • Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil. Season generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

  • Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and your air fryer model.
  • Serve immediately. Great with roasted vegetables or a side salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
