Ingredients
-
2 frozen salmon fillets
-
½ teaspoon olive oil
-
½ lemon thinly sliced
Directions
-
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
-
Remove any excess ice from your salmon fillets. Place the frozen fillets directly in your air fryer basket. (If your salmon still has the skin on, place it in the basket skin-side down.)
-
Cook the frozen salmon for 7 minutes.
-
Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the lemon sliced over the fillets.
-
Return the salmon to the air fryer and cook another 3-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon and your preferred level of doneness. The salmon is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F and flakes easily when scraped with a fork. For thinner salmon portions, I cooked for 3 minutes. For thicker pieces, I set the timer for 5 minutes.
