To cook salmon in an air fryer, the general recommended cooking time is between 6 to 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C), depending on the thickness of the fillets:

• For thinner cuts (less than 1 inch thick), cook for about 5 to 7 minutes.
• For thicker cuts (around 1 inch or more), cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Some sources suggest cooking for 6 minutes for a tender, flaky result, while others recommend up to 9-10 minutes to ensure it is fully cooked

It's best to check the salmon for doneness by testing if it flakes easily with a fork or using an instant-read thermometer aiming for an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C), which is the USDA recommended safe temperature for salmon

. If needed, you can air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes to reach your preferred level of doneness. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the size of the salmon fillets

. In summary:

• Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
• Cook salmon 6-10 minutes depending on thickness.
• Check for flakiness or internal temperature of 145°F.
• Add extra time if necessary.

This method yields salmon with a nicely seared exterior and tender, juicy interior quickly and easily
