How To Make Air Fryer Everything Bagel Salmon

Remember the step-by-step instructions are below in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information. 

• Preparation: Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
• Oil Application: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of the salmon fillets.
• Seasoning: Generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning over the salmon.

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.
