How long does it take to cook salmon in an air fryer?
Cook salmon in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes at 200°C (400°F), depending on thickness. The fish is done when it reaches 63°C internal temperature and flakes easily with a fork.
Can you cook frozen salmon fillets in an air fryer?
Yes, but thaw frozen salmon completely first and pat dry. Frozen fillets will take 2-3 minutes longer to cook and won't achieve the same crispy exterior as fresh salmon.
What size air fryer do I need for salmon bowls?
You'll need a minimum 3.5-liter air fryer capacity to cook 4 salmon fillets without overcrowding. Cook in batches if your air fryer is smaller to ensure even cooking.
Do you need to flip salmon when air frying?
No flipping required! Air fryers circulate hot air around the food, so salmon cooks evenly on both sides. Flipping can actually break delicate fish fillets and isn't necessary.
How do you keep salmon from sticking to the air fryer basket?
Brush salmon lightly with olive oil before seasoning, and preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes. The oil creates a barrier while preheating ensures immediate searing to prevent sticking.
