How To Make Easy Ninja CRISPI Salmon Recipe

Step 1: Use a paper towel to pat the salmon fillets dry, then brush or lightly coat them with olive oil.

Step 2: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Press the spice mix evenly onto both sides of the salmon so it sticks.

Step 3: Set the Ninja CRISPI to Air Fry mode and preheat for 3 minutes.

Step 4: Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the Ninja CRISPI basket, skin side down, ready for air frying.

Step 5: Air fry the salmon for 14 minutes in the Ninja CRISPI, then check for doneness. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Easy Ninja CRISPI Salmon Recipe Tips

• Pat salmon dry: Ensures a crisp, golden skin.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket: Air needs to circulate for even cooking.
• Use fresh fillets: Fresh salmon gives the best flavor and texture.
• Check seasoning: Adjust spices to your preference before cooking.
• Serve immediately: Salmon is crispiest right out of the Ninja CRISPI.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store cooked salmon in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Use the Ninja CRISPI on Air Fry mode at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to retain crispiness.
