Cajun Air Fried Salmon
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 (6 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components, including the ingredients and equipment required for this recipe.
2
Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
3
Next, take the salmon fillets and gently rinse them under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry with a paper towel, ensuring they are thoroughly dry before proceeding.
4
Spray the salmon fillets lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5
In a small bowl, combine Cajun seasoning and brown sugar in equal parts until they are well incorporated. This mixture will serve as the primary flavor component for your dish.
6
Place the salmon fillets, flesh-side down, onto the plate containing the seasoning mixture. Gently press them into the seasonings to ensure they are evenly coated.
7
Before cooking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the basket to facilitate even cooking.
8
Finally, close the air fryer lid and cook the salmon fillets for 8 minutes. Remove them from the air fryer once they are done and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
