Effortless Air Fryer Salmon (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 salmon fillets (about 4-5 oz each), keep the skin on.
02 -
1 tsp lemon pepper (or mix 1 tsp lemon zest and 1/2 tsp black pepper).
03 -
1 tbsp of olive oil.
04 -
1/2 tsp of kosher salt.
05 -
1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
06 -
Spray oil for nonstick coating.
07 -
Lemon slices to squeeze on top at the end.
# Instructions:
01 -
Spray the basket lightly so food doesn’t stick.
02 -
Take a plate and lay the fillets skin-side down. Drizzle oil on top, then sprinkle on lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper.
03 -
Put the salmon fillets into the fryer basket so they don’t touch. You can have them skin-up or skin-down. Toss a lemon slice underneath each piece if you'd like.
04 -
Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for around 8 minutes. It’s ready when the inside temperature is 135-140°F. Give it a bit more time if you like your salmon less soft.
05 -
Serve the cooked salmon on plates with lemon slices to squeeze over it.
# Notes:
01 -
If your air fryer manual recommends preheating, go ahead, but it’s optional.
02 -
Store extra salmon in the fridge and eat it within three days.
