Cooking times will vary slighty. Salmon sizes will vary so much in length and thickness, so you can add or reduce cooking time if needed to cook your salmon to your preferred texture.If you have a wire basket or tray style air fryer, air fryer parchment sheets will be super helpful to prevent the salmon from sticking to the basket. We highly recommend them!

Ingredients
Two6 ounce(Two170 g)salmon fillets, skin and bones removed
1teaspoon(5ml)olive oil or light spray of organic cooking spray
Rinse and pat dry the salmon. Lightly coat with oil or cooking spray. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Place salmon in basket (place on air fryer parchment sheets if you have them). Air fry at 360°F for about 8-10 minutes.
Gently press the salmon to check it's doneness (the firmer it is the more fully cooked it is). Or check the salmon with a fork to make sure it's cooked to your preferred doneness.
Serve the salmon with a healthy salad or your favorite rice, grain, pasta or tacos.
Notes
Air Fryer Notes:
Don’t crowd the basket. If you decide to double the recipe, it will work great but make sure your air fryer is large enough to fit more salmon filets. If the basket is more crowded, you might need add an additional 1-2 minutes of cooking time to make sure the salmon is cooked through or cook the salmon in batches.
Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
If cooking in multiple batches, the first batch will take longer to cook if Air Fryer is not already pre-heated.
