Air Fryer Salmon is a quick way to serve up tender, flaky fish in under 10 minutes. Seasoned to perfection, browned on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This method is a surefire way to achieve a restaurant quality entree in just a few minutes!
In the meantime, whisk the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme together in a small bowl.
Pat the salmon dry and place them on a large plate.
Season the tops and sides with the spice blend and rub it in.
Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray then place the fillets inside, not overlapping. (If your fillets are too large you may need to do this in 2 batches.)
Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and cooked through.
Serve with lemon wedges and fresh thyme for garnish if desired.

Notes
NOTE: The seasoning blend here is a great basic starting point. Feel free to add other herbs like Oregano, Basil, Dill, or Rosemary. Cajun seasoning (salt free) is also a favorite of ours to add to air fried salmon as well!
