Steps:
- Prepare your air fryer. For this method, I not only preheat my air fryer to 400F, but I also lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado oil. This helps keep the salmon from sticking as it thaws and then cooks.
- Air fry the salmon filet. Place frozen salmon filets at the bottom of the air fryer basket and set the timer for 15 minutes. Halfway through, take a spatula and get under the salmon to release it and flip over.
- Season the salmon. After it's flipped, brush with a small amount of avocado oil, then add salt and pepper. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes more or until salmon is completely cooked through.
- Remove and serve. Remove the cooked salmon using tongs or a spatula. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve hot with your favorite side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Remove any excess ice from your salmon fillets. Place the frozen fillets directly in your air fryer basket. (If your salmon still has the skin on, place it in the basket skin-side down.)
- Cook the frozen salmon for 7 minutes.
- Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the lemon sliced over the fillets.
- Return the salmon to the air fryer and cook another 3-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon and your prefered level of doneness. The salmon is ready whn it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F and flakes easily when scraped with a fork. For the salmon pictured above, I cooked for 3 minutes. For thicker fillets I set the timer for 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right frozen salmon. Look for individually frozen salmon fillets that are at least 1 inch thick. Avoid salmon that has been previously frozen and thawed.
- Thaw the salmon slightly before cooking. This will help the salmon cook more evenly. To thaw the salmon, place it in the refrigerator overnight or thaw it in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer. This will help the salmon cook quickly and evenly. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes before cooking the salmon.
- Season the salmon. You can season the salmon with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or lemon pepper. Be sure to season both sides of the salmon.
- Cook the salmon in the air fryer. Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
Conclusion:
Air fryer salmon from frozen is a quick, easy, and healthy way to cook salmon. By following these tips, you can cook a delicious and flaky salmon fillet in just a few minutes. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.
