Description

A quick and easy recipe to cook perfectly tender and flaky salmon straight from frozen using the Ninja Air Fryer. This method requires no thawing and delivers a delicious, healthy meal in under 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale

2 frozen salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges


Instructions

Preheat the Ninja Air Fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, brush both sides of the frozen salmon fillets with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the seasoned frozen salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin side down if applicable.
Cook the salmon at 390°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets with lemon wedges on the side.
