Monitor the internal temperature and stop the cooking process when the internal temperature reaches 145\u00b0F. Then allow your salmon to rest 2-3 minutes after air frying to allow the juices to redistribute. These steps will ensure your salmon filet is moist, tender, and flaky every time.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Can I air fry skin-on salmon?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yes. If you prefer skin-on salmon, you can cook it in the air fryer with skin side down for best results.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Do I need to flip salmon halfway through cooking?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>No. While most proteins require flipping halfway through the air frying process, there is no need to flip salmon fillets. Flipping may cause the delicate fish to stick to the air fryer basket and flake apart. For best results, leave the salmon undisturbed until it reaches 145\u00b0F internal temperature.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Can I air fry pre-seasoned salmon fillets?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yes.
