Top Tips
- Pat the salmon completely dry before cooking - Moisture on the surface of the salmon prevents it from developing that delicious crispy exterior, so use paper towels to thoroughly dry both sides of your fillets before seasoning and placing them in the air fryer basket.
- Don't overcrowd the basket - Leave at least half an inch of space between salmon pieces to allow hot air to circulate properly around each fillet, which ensures even cooking and prevents steaming instead of crisping.
- Check for doneness with a fork, not just a timer - Salmon is perfectly cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, but cooking times can vary based on the thickness of your fillets, so checking the texture is your best guide to avoid overcooking.
- Use parchment paper or a light oil spray to prevent sticking - While air fryers are generally non-stick, salmon can sometimes stick to the basket, so either line it with perforated parchment paper designed for air fryers or give the basket a quick spray with cooking oil before adding your fish.
