Skin vs. Skinless:
You really can use either salmon with the skin on or already removed. It is a matter of personal preference and entirely up to you.
Can I use frozen salmon filets?
Yes, you absolutely can! Simply add a couple of minutes onto the cooking time to ensure it is cooked thoroughly, and as always, check the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer.
Salmon Filet Tip:
To ensure your salmon are all ready at the same time and evenly cooked, you want to make sure your fillets are all the same size.
Air Fryer Tip:
Make sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket. You need a bit of airflow around all of your filets to ensure a slightly crisp exterior. Bonus: it will also make your filets cook faster!
How do I know when it’s finished cooking?
Salmon needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. It should flake easily with a fork when ready. Use an instant read thermometer for 100% accuracy.
