This air fryer salmon is full of flavor with a hint of sweetness. It's moist, delicious, and ready in under 10 minutes. If using an unsalted Cajun seasoning, you may want to season the fillets with salt before serving. I like to use a Misto sprayer with oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray. For best results, use 1-inch-thick, center-cut fillets.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray:
  • Cajun seasoning: 1 Tbsp
  • brown sugar: 1 tsp
  • skin-on salmon fillets: 2 piece (6 ounce)
