Special Precautions and Tips:

- If you don't have an air fryer, you can also cook the salmon in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes.
- To ensure the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it's done.
- Serve with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
