    Cooking salmon in the air fryer is a quick, easy and healthy dinner. The air fryer locks in the juices inside the salmon so that the exterior is crispy while the interior is juicy and flaky. These delicious recipes use different seasonings that give the salmon amazing flavor. Try a brown sugar glazed salmon fillet or blackened salmon bites that are perfectly crispy and flaky. Most of these dinners can be whipped up in 30 minutes or less for a unbelievable dinner recipe that the whole family will love.
