Air Fryer Salmon Fish Fry is a real favorite in my house, my kids absolutely love it.
The Air fryer is one of my favorite gadgets in the kitchen. Apart from the fact that you can fry using just a little oil, it gets the job done really fast! That’s a win in anyone’s kitchen, don’t you agree?!
If you do not have one, I highly recommend the Cosori Air Fryer.

Salmon is one of the tastiest types of fish that I have ever tried. It is a firm fish that stands up well when air-fried, it does not fall apart easily.
The other options that you could try are kingfish, halibut, or Mahi-mahi. Any firm fish is best.
The marinade is a few basic spices, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt to taste, and lime juice.
It’s best to marinate at least for an hour, but I have even air-fried the fish immediately, and it tasted good too!
Another option is marinating and freezing the fish, so you have it on hand. You could just thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and air fry like normal.
You could leave the skin on if you got it with skin. After it’s fried, the skin peels off easily. If you like eating the skin you could do so but we prefer to take the skin off.
How to make this Air fryer Salmon Fish Fry:
Turn on the air fryer to 350 degrees (F). Drizzle some oil ( around 1 tbsp) on the marinated fish pieces. You can use olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, or coconut oil.
Place the fish in the air fryer basket using tongs.
Make sure you do not put more than 4 pieces of fish, so there is enough air to circulate around them. Close the air fryer.
Cook for 10 minutes, turn the fish pieces in between. Once done gently remove fish from the basket, your delicious air-fried fish is ready!
The fish is so flaky and juicy. My whole family loves this air-fried fish, it is on the menu every single week!
Salmon fish fry can be eaten just as a snack, eat it with rice and dal, eat it in a taco, pita bread, paratha, naan, etc.
My favorite is eating it with avocado salad. So delicious!
