This crispy air fryer salmon is truly delicious. If you love salmon as much as I do, then this simple yet tasty recipe is perfect for you. Season with salt, pepper, or whatever spices you love and you've got yourself a perfectly cooked piece of salmon that can be eaten by itself or place on top of a salad. Something like this is so versatile which is why I love using this technique so much. I hope you enjoy it too!
Here is what you need to make this Crispy Air Fryer Salmon:

NOTE: I bought the BBQ cut salmon from TJ’s for this. My air fryer is Bella and is on the smaller side. If you have a bigger one you can do 2 pieces of salmon.
