Air Fryer Salmon – A Beautiful Mess

My obsession My air fryer I’ll continue. This week in Saga, we share how to fry salmon. It’s very good! Very fast! Full of flavor! And it’s well cooked, but not dried.

I have both fresh salmon and frozen air fried. I have to admit that I like freshness.

However, I’m only a grocery store that is less than once a week during this season of my life, so there are plenty of dinner options that can be pulled from our freezer. So we both do according to what we have at hand.

All you have to do is thaw the frozen salmon first. Otherwise, it’s no different to fresh, unzered salmon air fries.

How to thaw frozen salmon:

You can thaw frozen salmon in several ways, but what I usually do is (if packaged in a sealed bag, the filet itself). This usually takes 5-8 minutes depending on the size of the filet. Another option is to leave the sealed bag in the fridge overnight.

Season the salmon before the air fries. My favourite spices: garlic powder or salt, seasonings, Italian seasonings, cayenne, pepper, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, or Cajun seasonings. If you’re not sure, start with salt and pepper.

How do you prevent salmon from sticking to your air fryer?

Two ways to do this. First, before adding the salmon and cooking, you can lightly polish the grate in the air fryer basket with oil.

Another option is to use parchment. Yes, it can be used parchment With your air fryer. Add some parchment to fit under the salmon, but you don’t have a lot of loose paper that you can tie together or on the side of the air fryer (see photo below).

Parchment paper rounds some while cooking, so you don’t want an extra amount, but you want it to fit well under the whole fish you’re cooking.

How long will you air salmon?

For all details, see the recipe card below (or print), but saute the salmon for 8 minutes at 390°F. This cooks fish perfection without drying it. I love squeezing fresh lemon juice over cooked salmon.

Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of the salmon you are cooking, but they can work well somewhere between 7-9 minutes.

It can be served with vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli salads, risotto, pasta salads, broccoli slaw, mushy peas and steamed rice.

Enjoy squeezing a little lemon juice over this air-fried salmon! xo. Emma
