Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper together.
  • Drizzle the salmon with the olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon and use your hands to rub it all over so the salmon is coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°. Carefully place a piece of foil into your air fryer basket, then place 2 salmon filets on top. Air fry the salmon for 8-10 minutes (cook time varies depending on thickness of the salmon). Remove, then repeat with the remaining salmon. Enjoy!
