Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- ½ tablespoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cayenne
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 (6-ounce) Salmon Fillets
- Lemon for serving
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400˚F.
- Whisk together the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cayenne, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and drizzle each fillet with a paper towel. Season the fish with the seasoning mixture and set aside.
- Arrange the salmon in the basket of an air fryer and air fry for 7-9 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon (cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer.)
- Open the air fryer and check for doneness with either an instant read thermometer or a fork. The fish will flake easily with a fork when done.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, if necessary.
- Serve the salmon with tartar sauce or garlic butter sauce, if desired.
