How Long To Cook Air Fryer Salmon
This is a very common question. Cooking salmon is a dish you need to check on frequently, whether grilling, air frying, or baking.
The salmon will go from cooked to overcooked in minutes. Some of my guidelines, although remember each air fryer, are different, so I always end up frequently checking when air frying salmon or any fish.
All salmon cooked in the air fryer should be done at 400 degrees F, air fryer setting.
- Medium-sized salmon fillets. This would be fork tender.
- If you want the salmon fillets well done or cooked more in the center, the cooking time will increase to 12 minutes.
How Do I Know If Salmon is Ready?
Salmon is easily overcooked. This is why I would recommend that everyone new to air frying invest in a meat thermometer.
When salmon is perfectly cooked (or air-fried) when it flakes easily with a fork, to check your salmon dish, use our fork, and at a 45-degree angle, insert your fork into the fish. If the fish easily flakes off without you adding pressure, the fish is done. Remove it from the air fryer.
What to Serve with This Salmon Dish?
I usually serve either a salad or a bowl of rice with my salmon dishes. But this dish will go with almost everything. Here are some of my favorite side dishes:
