Air Fryer Salmon
Air fryer salmon is an easy main dish to throw together in a hurry, and it makes the most juicy, delicious salmon.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon filets (mine were 6 ounces, about an inch thick at the thickest spot)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Trader Joe's chili lime seasoning blend (see other seasoning blend suggestions in Notes)
- salt and pepper to taste, if needed (I did not add any)
Instructions
-
Pat your salmon filets dry on both sides with a paper towel.
-
Brush on the olive oil on both sides. Alternatively, you could use cooking spray.
-
Place the filet, skin side down into the fryer basket. Sprinkle seasoning on top.
-
Cook at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Note: Cook time may vary, depending on the size and thickness of your filets. Mine were 1 inch thick in the biggest part. I have made some thinner cuts, and 6 minutes was enough for those.
-
Optional toppings: fresh parsley or thin sliced green onion (pictured).
-
Serve immediately.
