Air Fryer Salmon

This is one of my newest recipes for my Air Fryer.  I can’t help but falling more and more in love with it.  From the taste of the food to the super easy clean up, how could I not?  As most of you know, I love salmon and have many recipes here on my site for it.  You’ll notice though that this one isn’t coated in molasses or brown sugar or even bourbon (I know…how could I not) but I am increasing my healthier meals and am finding out that I am not having to sacrifice any taste.

So I made this one simple and yet delicious.  Y’all are going to flip out over how easy this recipe actually is.  So here we go.


Ingredients

  • Salmon (you can decide how big a piece you want)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

    1. Mix your 3 spices (of course you can utilize whatever spices you might like on your salmon) and sprinkle/coat the salmon
    2. Place in the Air Fryer basket with the skin sidedown touching the tray
    3. Set up the Air Fryer to 10 minutes at 400ºF. 8 minutes if you like it slightly less cooked or 12 minutes if you like it more done.
    4. Enjoy!

  1. the basket is NON stick. when i cook mine, the skin remains in the basket (easily washes off) and the salmon nicely lifts from it. i have followed this recipe a few times. got my air fryer as a christmas gift and love it.

  3. I was given your address as I just bought my air fryer and have no knowledge as to cooking, sirloin steaks salmon and chicken, any help would be appreciated

    • Start out with small things like fries and such. Utilize it like you would a normal oven. There are many recipes on Pinterest and my site too. You’re going to fall in love with it.

  4. I’m New too. But I have made chicken kievs and even breaded them. I froze them after I breaded them and the breading stayed on and spread them with olive oil before cooking. Cooked for about 20 to 25 min @ 375. Turned them halfway thru. I make homemade herb butter and on the turn, I put a little on top. It came out great. I used the same butter inside with mushroom and more herbs, but you can put what you want in it. We also made the salmon but we spayed with olive oil and dry breaded it with herbed fish breading spread it again. again all the breading stayed on. I spray the basket with olive oil because we like the skin I then turn it halfway thru. Loved the way it turned out. We have done shrimp and white fish. Can’t wait to try more. less clean up and it’s easy to clean. Less cooking time and less energy used. You’re not warming a big oven or a fryer.

  5. What can we put under the salmon if we want something below. I have always just placed in the basket. Trying to see if parchment paper or tin foil can go in it when cooking.

  6. my neighbors gave me an air fryer for Christmas and I have not used my oven for anything since then. I love it and thank them once a week for such a fabulous gift. Experiment it’s fun.
