I usually get my salmon fresh from the grocer, but feel free to use frozen salmon filets too.\u00a0Just make sure the salmon is thawed if you are using frozen filets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>olive oil\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 I like to use a good\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/olivoil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">olive oil<\/a>\u00a0or other neutral oil to help keep the salmon moist and allow the seasoning to stick. Just make sure it\u2019s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>lemon juice<\/strong> \u2013 fresh lemon juice brightens the flavor and balances the richness of the salmon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>seasoning blend<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a mixture of garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt and black pepper to season the salmon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>fresh parsley<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 garnish at the end to add a pop of color and fresh taste to the salmon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1710\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Easy Air Fryer Salmon that turns out perfectly flaky every time in under 10 minutes!

This helps the salmon cook evenly and develop a slightly crisp exterior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prep the salmon.<\/strong>\u00a0Pat the fresh salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This step is key for getting that nice texture on the outside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season generously. <\/strong>In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Brush evenly over the salmon fillets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air fry.\u00a0<\/strong>Place 2 salmon skin side down in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/RYWSC\">air fryer<\/a>\u00a0basket, making sure not to overlap. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Repeat with the remaining two fillets. The internal temperature using a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/E1x0t\">meat thermometer<\/a>\u00a0should reach 125-130 degrees F for medium or 140 for well done.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish and serve.<\/strong>\u00a0Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

This removes excess moisture, helps the outside develop a better texture and prevents the salmon from steaming. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t skip preheating<\/strong> \u2013 this helps create the perfect texture right from the start and helps create a lightly crisp exterior on the salmon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use even-sized fillets<\/strong> \u2013 this ensures everything cooks at the same rate and prevents thinner pieces from overcooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t overcrowd the basket<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 make sure to give the salmon filets enough space so the hot air can circulate. If they are touching, you\u2019ll get steaming instead of crisping, as well as uneven cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook skin-side down<\/strong> \u2013 this helps protect the delicate flesh from overcooking, locks in moisture and makes cleanup easier.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/E1x0t\">meat thermometer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 to prevent overcooking, pull your salmon out as soon as the internal temperature reaches 125-130 degrees F for tender, medium salmon and 135-140 degrees F for more firm, well done salmon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t skip the oil<\/strong> \u2013 this helps keep the salmon moist, helps the seasonings stick and improves the overall texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-quaternary-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Seasonings<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 other seasoning variations you can try are my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/homemade-taco-seasoning\/\">homemade taco seasoning<\/a>, this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/homemade-cajun-seasoning\/\">cajun seasoning<\/a>\u00a0for a different flavor, a little Italian seasoning or even some lemon pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marinades<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 try marinating the salmon in this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/lemon-dijon-herb-dressing\/\">lemon herb marinade<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/cilantro-lime-grilled-chicken-recipe\/\">cilantro lime<\/a>\u00a0is another favorite, or this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/maple-balsamic-herb-chicken\/\">maple balsamic marinade<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1790\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Easy Air Fryer Salmon that turns out perfectly flaky every time in under 10 minutes!
