Now that the weather is getting warmer, we seem to be using our air fryer so much more, other than heating up the whole house by turning on the oven. The Air Fryer makes cooking things like this delicious salmon or even just a batch of chicken wings so quick and easy.

Cooking salmon in the air fryer makes it perfectly tender on the inside and has a tasty, crisp outside. The salmon flakes easily and would be delicious added to a salad or even a sandwich. The flavors in this salmon recipe are mild, yet very complimentary to the fish. I hope you love it! Please let me know down in the comments if you give it a try or if you have any additional questions.

Ingredients for Frozen Air Fryer Salmon

You only need a few ingredients to make this air fried salmon over the top. The following is what you are going to need:

  • Frozen Salmon Fillets– these can usually be purchased prepackaged and individually wrapped. The fillets should be 3-4 ounces.
  • Olive oil– for coating the salmon. This will help the seasoning stick to the fish as well as helping it not to stick to the basket of the air fryer.
  • Spices:
    • Salt
    • Black pepper
    • Garlic Powder
    • Parsley
  • Lemon– can you even have salmon without lemon? Lemon slices are cooked on top of the salmon and the juice is drizzled over the cooked salmon.
