This Crispy Air Fryer Salmon recipe takes only minutes to cook, is flavorful, healthy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner. Mix up a simple salmon seasoning to rub on the salmon filets then pop in the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 2 single-serving salmon filets, with or without skin
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • Cooking spray 

Instructions

  1. Mix Seasoning - Mix together the brown sugar and spices in a small bowl to make the salmon seasoning.
  2. Prep Salmon - Pat dry the salmon filets with a paper towel. With the skin side down, spread the salmon seasoning on top of each filet.
  3. Air Fry - Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray then add the seasoned salmon filets. Give the salmon a spritz with the cooking spray. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 7-8 minutes. The salmon is done when it can be flaked easily with a fork.

Notes

Salmon should be cooked to 145 degrees F. Another way to tell salmon is done is by using a fork - if it flakes easily, then it's cooked.
