Chef's Tips
- Skin Crispiness: Ensure the salmon skin is dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Leave space between fillets in the air fryer for even cooking.
- Check Doneness: Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F internally.
- Variations: Try adding a honey-mustard glaze or teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
