Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing the salmon fillets under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a plate. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top, using a cooking brush to spread it evenly. Then, sprinkle sea salt to taste on both sides of the fillets.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down. Cook the salmon for 7-10 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon using tongs. Transfer it to a serving plate and enjoy your delicious Air-Fryer Salmon!
