Notes

Make sure that the air fryer is fully pre heated before adding the salmon so that it cooks through evenly.
Place the salmon skin side down in the air fryer basket.
The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets. The flesh should easily flake when they are done.

Storage: Store air fryer salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
