More helpful tips for you.

1. I would not use larger than eight ounce fillets as there may not be enough room in your air fryer.
2. Air frying times can vary depending on the size of your fillets and your air fryer.
3. My salmon was air fried in an air fryer safe pan. The pan helps keep the ingredients together and makes for an easier transfer and clean up.
4. When selecting salmon fillets, choose firm salmon fillets that are of similar thickness for even air frying.
5. Before you make this recipe it is a good idea to use clean paper towels to pat the salmon dry in order to remove any excess moisture. This will help your salmon get slightly crisp on the outside.
6. Your salmon is done cooking when it can be easily flaked apart with a fork, and it has reached an internal temperature of 145. Over cooking the salmon will make it dry and not as enjoyable
7. If your salmon does not appear to be done cooking you can cook it for a few more minutes, keeping an eye on it as well.
