what temperature to air fry salmon

To air fry salmon, preheat the air fryer to 400°F or 180°C. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or thyme. Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side down if applicable. Cook the salmon for 6 to 11 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets and the air fryer model. The FDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C in the thickest part of the salmon. To ensure that the salmon is not overcooked and dry, remove it from the air fryer when it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F or 57°C, then cover it and let it rest. The carryover cooking will bring it to the recommended temperature, and the salmon will be moist and flaky.
