Frying Time for Perfect Salmon
When air frying salmon, the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillet and your preferred level of doneness. Air frying is a convenient and healthy method to cook salmon as it requires little to no oil.
Recommended Cooking Time
For a standard 6-ounce salmon fillet, it is generally recommended to air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes. It is important to preheat the air fryer before adding the salmon to ensure even cooking.
Checking for Doneness
To check if the salmon is cooked to your liking, use a fork to gently flake the fish. If the salmon easily flakes and appears opaque, it is ready. Be cautious not to overcook the salmon to avoid it becoming dry.
Seasoning and Serving
Before air frying, season the salmon with your preferred herbs, spices, and a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor. Once cooked, serve the air fried salmon with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a wholesome meal.
