If there’s one appliance I truly love, it’s my air fryer! It makes my life so much easier and my meals so much healthier. I used so little oil in this air fryer salmon recipe– just enough to help the spices stick. The spice blend really does the heavy lifting here, adding so much flavor and creating a crispy crust on the outside of the fish. I love that I can have dinner on the table in just 20 minutes!
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover air fryer salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying. I always recommend enjoying leftover salmon cold, but you can also reheat it gently in the microwave.
Serving Suggestions
This seasoned air fryer salmon is great served with all of your favorite veggie, potato, or salad sides. I served mine on a bed of romaine lettuce and tomatoes with sweet and spicy salad dressing (pictured). Try yours with cucumber tomato salad, loaded scalloped potatoes, asparagus almondine, or Pennsylvania Dutch beans.
How to Air Fry Salmon Step by Step
Whisk the Spices: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon of ground paprika, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder together. Coat the Salmon: Brush the spice mixture on top of 2 salmon fillets. Cook the Salmon: Set the salmon, skin side down, in the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-9 minutes depending on the size of the fillets.
