Notes

  • Be sure to pat dry your salmon so the salt doesn't instantly soak in
  • Use some sort of course salt. Regular salt will just dissolve before even getting it in the air fryer
  • You don't have to use olive oil spray. Use which every spray you prefer
  • If you are unsure about if the salmon is cooked due to being thick just take a knife or fork and cut down the thickest part
  • You can also make this as one big piece of salmon and cut into pieces after cooking
  • If you want you can also add pepper on top of the salmon
