Notes
I used 2 large fresh salmon fillets that weighed 1 pound in total. I cut each of them in half to get 4 portions. If you serve filling side dishes like potatoes and salad, one fish fillet per person should be plenty.
Salt – use as much/little as you like. If using normal soy sauce, you might need less salt. If using low sodium, add more salt.
Black pepper – season the fillets to your liking. I like to season them well with pepper. You can use either freshly cracked or ground pepper.
Soy sauce – use either regular or low sodium. Check recipe note 2.
I used fresh salmon fillets. If possible, choose wild salmon over farmed.
Please note that the cooking time may vary. This will depend on the thickness of the fillets you use and also on the air-fryer brand. Always check the fish for doneness after the time is up. If not ready, pop it in for longer. FDA recommends cooking fish at 145°F (63°C), however, many people like it cooked to medium – 125°F (52°C). I prefer to be safe than sorry, so I follow the FDA recommendation.
