Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  • Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  • Season the flesh side of each fillet with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the flesh of each fillet (use all 4 teaspoons total) and rub to coat evenly.
  • Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down, without overlapping.
  • Cook at 400°F for 7 minutes. Check doneness—salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork; if needed, cook 1–2 minutes longer.
  • Carefully remove the fillets from the air fryer and serve immediately.
