Ingredients
Directions
Brush the salmon fillet with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray.
Place the salmon fillet in the air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet and your air fryer. For food safety, the FDA recommends cooking fish to an internal temperature of 63°C (145°F), measured at the thickest part.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with a fresh salad, vegetables, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
