In the freezer You can freeze the salmon after it’s cooled, but be aware it won’t be at its best after defrosting. It may dry out a little, so be sure to reheat it gently (but thoroughly) again in the air fryer or oven when it’s time to eat. If you want to eat it with the skin: Cook it skin side UP and grease the foil with oil first so the fleshy bit doesn’t stick.  If you don’t want to eat the skin: You can slice it off first OR simply cook it skin side down and then slide the fillets off the skin when it’s cooked. This option is my preference because cooking with the skin on gives a little more moisture and flavour.

⭐️ Lining ⭐️

Putting a layer of tin foil in the bottom of your air fryer is wise and I highly recommend this step. Why? It makes the machine much easier to clean and prevents the unmistakable smell of fish getting into everything afterwards! It’s also handy for lifting the salmon out of the air fryer once it’s cooked.

⭐️ Lemon ⭐️

Salmon always tastes better with a squeeze of lemon, but it’s best to do this after it’s cooked.

⭐️ Cooking with frozen salmon ⭐️

You can use frozen instead of fresh if you like! Air fry it for 5 minutes initially, then season according to the recipe and cook for the 8 minutes as usual. You could use a meat thermometer to make sure it has reached 63C (145F) or check when cutting that it’s cooked through and can flake.
