Cooking Fish in an Air Fryer
An Air Fryer can be used to cook all sorts of fish, but our favorites have always been salmon and cod. The fillet size may vary, so keep an eye on the internal temperature to assure the readiness.
Tips for the Perfect Salmon in an Air Fryer
- Season generously; salmon typically requires extra seasoning.
- To ensure that you have a moist salmon, top salmon with slices of butter before cooking.
- Use salmon with skin on; this will keep more juices inside. While the salmon cooks, the skin will stick to the air fryer, and you can easily remove the skinless fillet.
- Cook salmon on high heat (400°F or higher) until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. When it’s cooked on high heat, the outside creates a beautiful crust, while the inside remains juicy.
