Salmon cooks perfectly in the air fryer because the device’s circulating high heat keeps the fish moist and crisps skin-on fillets. Here, tomatoes and lemon slices provide a bright boost to the dish, but feel free to forgo or vary the recipe with seasonings like brown sugar and mustard or simply try out other salmon recipes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat air fryer to 400 degrees, if preheating is recommended for your air fryer.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush olive oil all over salmon; season with salt and pepper. If using lemon and cherry tomatoes, thinly slice half the lemon crosswise; set the remaining lemon half aside. In a small bowl, add the cherry tomatoes, lemon slices and 1 tablespoon olive oil. season with salt and toss to combine.
Place salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Top with lemon slices and scatter tomatoes around the basket. Cook until salmon skin is crisped and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes evenly. Squeeze remaining lemon half over salmon fillets (if using) and serve.
