Notes

If you have a small air fryer, cook in two smaller batches.
PRO TIP: A easy tip to remove the skin from the salmon filets: Place the filets on a cookie cooling rack and set over a bowl. Boil some water, then pour it over the skin side of the salmon, letting the excess water drip into the bowl. Remove filets to a cutting board. The fish skin will curl upward, and you can simply peel it right off.
