Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Salmon: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Moisture is the enemy of crispness! Lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

2. Preheat: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.

3. Cook: Place fillets skin-side down in the basket. Air fry for 7-9 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

If you don’t have an air fryer yet, I highly recommend grabbing one. It’s become my most-used kitchen gadget this year. [Check Price on Amazon]
