Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of a flavorful grill seasoning like Montreal Steak Seasoning
- A generous tbsp of rich brown sugar
- A hint of earthy ground cumin, about ¾ tsp
- A touch of fragrant ground coriander, roughly ½ tsp
- Just a pinch of spicy cayenne pepper, around ¼ tsp
- 2 lbs of fresh salmon fillets with the skin on
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to the fish setting at 330 degrees F (165 degrees C) for about 2 minutes, allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for this dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the flavorful steak seasoning, sweet brown sugar, aromatic cumin, fragrant coriander, and a kick of cayenne pepper. Sprinkle approximately 2 teaspoons of this delightful seasoning blend onto each succulent salmon fillet, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preferences. Carefully arrange the seasoned salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring even cooking.
Step 3
Cook the salmon in the air fryer until it reaches the desired flakiness, typically around 18 minutes. To keep the cooked salmon warm, transfer it to a plate and store it in the oven set to the lowest temperature. If needed, cook the remaining salmon fillets in batches, following the same process.
Step 4
Once all the salmon is perfectly cooked, serve it immediately to enjoy its delicious flavors to the fullest. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, ready to delight your taste buds.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your salmon fillets fresh by storing them in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags in the refrigerator.
- 2. Utilize the freezer for long-term storage by wrapping individual salmon fillets tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag. This will prevent freezer burn and extend the shelf life of your fish.
