Notes
- Don’t skip patting the salmon dry—it really does help the glaze stick.
- Check the salmon early if it’s thin; overcooking happens quickly.
- Want extra flavor? Marinate the salmon for 10–15 minutes before air frying.
- Add lemon wedges on top before cooking for extra zing.
- If your air fryer runs hot, reduce the temp to 370°F.
- A salmon fillet that is 1-inch thick in most parts will probably be done around 6-7 minutes, whereas a salmon fillet that is closer to 2 inches tall will take up to 9-10 minutes.
