Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 oz frozen salmon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛-¼ cup seasoning blend or marinade of choice
Instructions
- Set the air fryer to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the air fryer basket and place the salmon directly onto it (skin side down for salmon with the skin on). Cook for 10 minutes to defrost.
- Once defrosted. sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush your marinade onto the salmon or season it with a dry mix of spices if it wasn't pre-seasoned (if desired).
- Increase the temperature to 375°F. Continue cooking the salmon for 8-12 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest part and it easily flakes apart with a fork.
- Remove salmon and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Timing: The above is for salmon that's about 11/2 inches at its thickest spot. Very thin salmon may need less time and very thick salmon may need more. Remember that all air fryers are different so use these cook times as a guideline until you know what works for you.
Temperature: Food safety guidelines recommend cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. However, many people like to cook salmon less done than this so as to not overcook it.For medium done salmon, cook until the temperature reaches 125-130 degrees.
