Notes
Important Steps for making Air Fryer Sockeye Salmon
- Seasoning the Salmon: Properly seasoning the sockeye salmon with a blend of garlic powder, black pepper, and lemon juice is crucial for enhancing its natural flavors and achieving the best taste.
- Preheating the Air Fryer: Ensuring the air fryer is preheated to the right temperature (typically 375°F) is essential for cooking the salmon evenly and getting that desirable crispy skin.
- Monitoring Cook Time: Using an instant-read thermometer to check the salmon's internal temperature ensures it's cooked perfectly, avoiding over or undercooking for that juicy, flaky texture.
