  • Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Arrange the Salmon: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line it with baking paper. Place the marinated salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
