⭐ Air Fryer Salmon Recipe

A quick, healthy, and delicious salmon dinner that cooks in under 10 minutes. Perfectly flaky, tender, and seasoned — an ideal weeknight recipe!

🥘 Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

🔥 Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Salmon:
    Pat salmon dry. Rub with olive oil on both sides.

  3. Season Generously:
    Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the fillets.

  4. Air Fry:
    Place salmon skin-side down in the basket.
    Cook for 7–9 minutes, depending on thickness.

  5. Serve:
    Squeeze lemon juice on top and garnish with parsley.

Tip: Salmon is perfectly done when it flakes easily with a fork.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions for Air Fryer Salmon

1. Serve with Roasted or Air-Fried Vegetables

Pair your salmon with broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, or green beans. The crispy texture complements the flaky salmon perfectly.

2. Add a Fresh Salad on the Side

A light salad like Greek salad, cucumber tomato salad, or mixed greens with lemon vinaigrette keeps the meal fresh and balanced.

3. Plate with Rice or Quinoa

Serve over fluffy basmati rice, garlic butter rice, coconut rice, or quinoa for a complete, filling meal.

4. Make It a Salmon Bowl

Build a healthy bowl with salmon, avocado, cucumbers, edamame, rice, and a drizzle of soy sauce or spicy mayo.

5. Pair with Pasta or Noodles

Creamy garlic pasta, lemon butter noodles, or quick chili-garlic spaghetti go extremely well with seasoned air fryer salmon.

❓ FAQs

1. Do I need to flip the salmon?

No, air fryers cook from all sides. Keeping it skin-side down helps keep moisture.

2. Can I cook frozen salmon in the air fryer?

Yes! Add 3 extra minutes and season halfway once thawed.

3. What temperature is best for air fryer salmon?

400°F (200°C) for fast, crispy edges and tender inside.

4. How do I prevent salmon from drying out?

Don’t overcook. Remove when the internal temperature reaches 125–135°F.

5. Can I marinate the salmon?

Absolutely — lemon garlic, teriyaki, or honey soy marinades work great.
