2 Cook.  Place the salmon skin side down inside the basket. Place the basket into your air fryer set for 375 degrees f and cook for 5 minutes. 
3 Season. After 5 minutes, remove the air fryer basket & season your fillets with salt, pepper and any other seasonings you like. 
4 Continue Cooking. Place the basket back into the air fryer and cook for another 3 minutes at 375F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon, so you may need to add on another minute or two for thicker fillets. To check the salmon's doneness use an instant read thermometer after cooking; 120-130 degrees fahrenheit is the recommended internal temperature for wild caught salmon which usually takes between 7-9 minutes to achieve.
