Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Fillets

  • 4 salmon fillets, 4 ounces each

Seasoning

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salmon: Spray air fryer basket with coconut oil spray. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. Cooking: Drizzle each fillet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, rubbing it in. Place fillets skin side down in the air fryer. Air fry at 390F for 7 minutes. Adjust cooking time based on fillet size.

Notes

  • Do not rinse salmon; pat dry before seasoning.
