Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lbs. fresh salmon filets, thawed
- 4 Tbsp. blackened seasoning
Blackening Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the air fryer.
- While the air fryer heats, prep your salmon filets by patting dry and cutting into serving sizes as desired. For this recipe I am cutting into 4 - 4 oz. filets.
- Mix the seasoning together in a bowl. If cutting into 4 filets, top each filet with 1 Tbsp. of blackened seasoning. Be sure to get the top and all sides covered well.
- Line the air fryer pan with foil, drizzle with olive oil or non stick spray so they fish does not stick to the bottom. If using skin on filets, the skin will stick and peel away from the fish once cooked.
- Air fry the filets at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. When the salmon easily flakes with a fork or the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer the salmon is done. The time will vary depending on your air fryer and thickness of filets.
Notes
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Always use fresh salmon, when available. Fresh salmon will be bright pink. Never choose salmon that is grey or dull.
