Air Fryer Salmon
Air fryer salmon cooks in less than 10 minutes. Making flaky salmon in the air fryer is a quick and delicious way to make a meal!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 ounce salmon
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes.
- While air fryer preheats, pat salmon dry with paper towels and place on a plate. Drizzle olive oil over salmon and rub into all surfaces to coat. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, add thyme, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle spice mixture over the top of the salmon.
- Add salmon to the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Plate, and serve with fresh lemon.
Notes
- Cook times on the salmon may depend on the thickness of your salmon fillet. 8-10 minutes usually works perfectly for me, however you may need to alter cook times.
- If you are worried about salmon sticking to your air fryer basket, you can use air fryer parchment paper or brush your air fryer basket with oil. However, I did not do either on this recipe since the salmon is coated in oil, and my salmon turned out great.
