Air Fryer Setup: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Cooking: Once preheated, carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets (skin side down) into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Set cooking time for 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. The salmon should easily flake with a fork when it’s done. Check the internal temperature in the thickest part of the salmon with a meat thermometer before removing the salmon filet from the air fryer basket. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees F, as recommended by the FDA.

Air Fryer Everything Bagel Salmon Recipe Tips

  • Quality Matters: Always opt for fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. They not only taste better but also cook more evenly.
  • Skin-On vs. Skin-Off: While both work in the air fryer, keeping the skin on can help retain moisture and flavor during cooking.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: It might be tempting to fit as many pieces as possible into the fryer but resist the urge.
  • Check For Doneness: The cooking time can vary based on the thickness of your salmon and individual air fryer models.
  • Season Generously: The Everything Bagel seasoning adds incredible flavor to the salmon. H
  • Add A Touch of Acidity: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can elevate the flavors and balance out the richness of the salmon.
  • Pairings Matter: To complement the rich flavors, consider serving the salmon with light sides like roasted asparagus, a fresh green salad, or sautéed spinach.
  • Let It Rest: After cooking, allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Storing Leftover Air Fryer Salmon:
  1. Cool Completely: Allow the salmon to come to room temperature before storing. This prevents excess moisture from forming, which can make the fish soggy.
  2. Airtight Container: Place the leftover salmon in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
  3. Refrigeration: Store the salmon in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor and texture. Consuming fish within this timeframe ensures freshness.
  4. Reheating: For best results, reheat the salmon in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the salmon dry out or become overly fishy in smell.
  5. Freezing: While it’s best to consume cooked salmon promptly, you can freeze leftovers for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed above.
  6. Note: Repeated reheating can dry out the salmon, so it’s recommended to only reheat the portion you intend to consume.
