Ridiculously Good Air Fryer Salmon

Step 1

Remove the skin from your salmon, if it has skin. Pat with paper towels so the surface is mostly dry. Cut your salmon into cubes, 1 to 2 inches each (see photo).

Step 2

Mix the spices together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Toss your salmon cubes in the spices and oil – I usually use my hands to mix it all together.

Step 4

Place your salmon pieces in the air fryer (I just dump them right in) and spread them out a bit so they’re not laying all over each other. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes!

Step 5

At this point it should be textured and golden on the outside, and juicy and delicious on the inside. When you press each piece with a fork, they should easily flake / slip apart with a buttery, juicy texture inside. (You can do 6-7 minutes if you prefer more of a medium doneness.)
