Air Fryer BBQ Salmon
Air fryer BBQ salmon is so easy to make! This salmon only uses a few simple ingredients and can be ready in less than 15 minutes start to finish.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 oz salmon fillet
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon bbq sauce
Instructions
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Place on a plate.
- Season salmon with onion powder and smoked paprika on the top. Rub into the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Top the salmon with bbq sauce. Spread evenly over the top of the salmon.
- Brush or spray the air fryer basket with oil (to prevent sticking) or use air fryer parchment paper.
- Place salmon in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Plate and enjoy!
Notes
- All air fryers cook a little differently. Cook time will depend both on your air fryer and on the thickness of your salmon. Thinner fillets may be ready at 6 minutes, while thicker fillets may take 8 minutes. (Mine was on the thicker side and took 8 minutes).
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the air fryer, either brush or spray the basket with oil or use air fryer parchment paper.
- This recipe serves 1, but is easy to double, triple, or quadruple.
- I typically cook the salmon with the skin on, and then remove after cooking. However, you can take the skin off prior to cooking if you prefer.
