Notes

Cooking Time: Cook salmon fillets in the air fryer at 400°F. For skin-on fillets, cook for 7-9 minutes. For skinless fillets, cook for 6-8 minutes. If your fillets are particularly thick, they may need 10-12 minutes. Salmon is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Skin On: You can use salmon fillets with or without skin, but I personally prefer the skin on. It helps keep the salmon moist and prevents it from drying out during cooking.
