Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds center cut salmon
- 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
- ½ Tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400 F.
- Rinse and pat dry salmon. Cut into 5 filets.
- Mix together garlic salt, paprika, pepper, and olive oil. Using gloved hands, rub mixture all over the filets, including the skin side.
- Place skin side down in preheated air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400 F for 7-8 minutes. (Up to 10 depending on the thickness of your salmon, ours was done in 8 minutes).Remove salmon from air fryer with fish turner spatula rather than tongs so as not to break the filets.
Notes
- You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket.
- Salmon is considered cooked when it reaches 145F on an instant-read thermometer that’s been inserted into the thickest part of the filet.
- Store leftover salmon in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer.
