Air Fryer Salmon is a real heartbreaker. It is utterly tender and flaky on the inside, with a blush of crispness on top. It is so delicious it will make it basically impossible for you to ever order salmon in a restaurant again. Impress dinner guests, who will think you have ordered in!!



I am absolutely obsessed with my air fryer, in fact I use it daily! Since I purchased the Ninja Dual Air fryer I have used my oven literally a handful of times. It is perfect for cooking delicious meals but also just throwing in a few chicken nuggets for the kiddos too. 

I highly recommend the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer with its 2 useful drawers. Having two separate baskets makes it easier to throw together a complete meal.

Tips for cooking air fryer salmon

  1. Don’t overcrowd your salmon fillets
    If you are air frying more than one fillet, ensure there is a gap between each. Definitely do not stack the salmon otherwise there will be no crispy outside. 
  2. Choose salmon fillets that are the same size
    This will ensure the fillets are evenly cooked. I have chosen a 130g fillet for this recipe.
  3. Pre heat the air fryer for 2 minutes
    This will ensure the salmon fillets are evenly cooked. 
  4. Use a fork to see if the salmon is cooked
    Check the flakiness using a fork to see if the salmon is cooked.

Batch Cook – Storage Information

  • Fridge: Keep cooked salmon in the fridge I an airtight container for up to 3 days. It is perfect to add to salads etc.
  • Freezer:You can freeze the pieces of cooked salmon for up to 3 months, just thaw in the fridge overnight and then warm until heated through.

    Have been using my air fryer to cook my salmon fillets. I don’t use any fat at all and I use honey with soy sauce. Delicious 😋
