Cook 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
Serve with lemon wedges and tarter sauce.
Notes
You can use fresh or frozen salmon, just thaw frozen salmon completely before cooking.
You can buy precut fillets, or cut a large fillet into portions yourself. Try to cut the portions into equal size to ensure even cooking.
For best results, pat the fillets dry with paper towels before brushing them with oil and seasonings.
This recipe is delicious just exactly as written, However, if you have extra time, you can refrigerate the fillets after rubbing with oil and seasonings for an hour or two before air frying them. This step will really maximize the flavour.
My salmon fillets were about 2 inches thick and I cooked them in two batches for 10 minutes. This cooking time is approximate and depends on the thickness of the salmon fillets, and your individual air fryer.
