  • Wild Sockeye Salmon
  • Neutral oil or olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges
  • Optional: fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
  • Air fryer

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (204°C) if required.
  2. Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Lightly coat with oil and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  4. Place salmon skin-side down in the air fryer basket with space between pieces.
  5. Air fry for 6–8 minutes depending on thickness (about 8–10 minutes per inch total guideline).
  6. Check for doneness — salmon should flake easily while remaining slightly translucent in the center.
