Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Salmon filet boneless, skinless - fresh or frozen. Frozen has to be totally thawed.

  • ½ tsp Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ¼ tsp Black Ground Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Scallions - garnish
  • Soyaki Sauce OPTIONAL or use any sauce you like.

Instructions

  • Turn the air fryer on to 400 so it has time to preheat.
  • Pat dry the skinless, boneless salmon filet.

  • The salmon should be opaque in the inside but not over done and dry. Just perfectly tender, flaky, fall apart, moist.
    10 minutes is very well done. I suggest removing the salmon at 9 minutes or go to 10 for chunky cut salmon.
    You're DONE...or make it saucy. (See the next two steps)
