Notes
Use skinless, boneless salmon fillets for easiest prep and best texture.Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—cook in batches if needed.Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily and reach 145°F (63°C) internally.For more flavor, marinate the salmon for 15–30 minutes before air frying.Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to maintain crispness.
