what temp to air fry salmon

To air fry salmon, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) . Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and cook for 6 to 11 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and your air fryer model. Fillets around 1 inch will need 8 to 9 minutes. To ensure that the salmon is cooked to the right temperature, use an instant-read thermometer. The FDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part of the salmon. To prevent the salmon from being dry, remove it around 135°F (57°C), then cover it and let it rest. The carryover cooking will bring it to temperature, and your salmon will be moist and flaky.
