Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz. salmon filets I used Kirkland Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon from the freezer section
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Defrost your salmon filets if frozen. I usually put them in a large bowl of cold water for 1-2 hours.
  • Mix all the seasonings together in a bowl and coat the salmon filets well.
  • Place in the air fryer tray and top each one with a tablespoon of butter.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy on all edges and flaky when split apart with a fork.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake at 400º for 12-15 minutes.
