Every year I find new ways to use the air fryer. It’s become my go-to for roasted chicken, replacing my slow and dirty dish-heavy oven recipe. I recently learned to make juicy air fryer cheeseburgers and sizzle bacon in less than 10 minutes and without dirtying a skillet or sheet pan. For super simple, healthy weeknight meals, air fryer salmon tops my list of recipes to make in the powerful and efficient countertop cooker. Air-frying salmon takes less time than any other method I’ve tried. It also cuts down on the fishy smell and cleanup and it’s almost impossible to screw up.
As with many types of fish, salmon does well with a blast of high heat to give the outer layer a crust without overcooking it through the middle, and air fryers are designed to do just that. What’s more, your air fryer basket will contain the fish better than most cooking devices, mitigating some of the fishy smell.
Air fryers only take a couple of minutes to preheat so if you’re making a quick weeknight meal for one or two, cooking salmon in the air fryer is an ace up your sleeve. Air fryers also cost less to run and use less energy than big ovens, and they don’t create an oily mess like searing salmon on the stovetop will.
To make perfect salmon in your air fryer, you’ll need olive oil and a sauce or seasoning — that’s about it. Your flavor agent can come in the form of a dry rub or marinade, either store-bought or homemade. You can also keep the recipe simple with salt, pepper, fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon over the top. Adaptations of this salmon air fryer recipe can see you through a lot of busy evenings without having to resort to expensive and often unhealthy takeout.
Making salmon in the air fryer takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. Here’s how to make a perfect fish fifilet every time.
