Air-Fryer Salmon in a Ninja Foodi

Cook salmon according to thickness and verify 145°F at its thickest point.

Quick answer

A Ninja Foodi may offer Air Crisp or a comparable air-fry mode. Use the mode named in your manual and avoid stacking fillets.

What you need

  1. For two servings, use two salmon fillets, a little oil, salt, pepper and lemon.
  2. Pat fish dry and keep a food thermometer ready; fillet thickness changes cooking time.

How to make it work

  1. Preheat if your model requires it, place fish skin-side down if it has skin, and cook in a single layer.
  2. Check early, then continue in short increments until the center reaches 145°F; rest briefly and add lemon.

Checks and useful changes

  1. Clean surfaces used for raw fish before plating cooked food.
  2. Do not trust one preset's time for every cut; thick center-cut pieces need longer than thin tail pieces.
