Spray the bakest of the air fryer with olive oil spray and place the salmon filets into the basket, skin side down, not touching. You may need to cook in batches.

Notes

If your salmon comes with skin on, you do not have to remove it but you can if you’d like.
This goes great with lots of different sides, our go-to is green beans.
The sesame seeds and scallions are an optional topping, but pair great with the Asian-themed glaze.
Double this recipe if you’d like to serve more people, just remember to cook in batches.
Make sure you use an olive oil cooking spray when spraying your air fryer basket.
This can be made with pre-cut filets or off of larger pieces of salmon. We like 5-ounce filets for our servings.
