Why This Recipe Is A Favorite
Perfect for those who enjoy bold flavors with minimal effort. The air fryer locks in moisture while giving the salmon a crispy, spicy crust. It’s a quick and healthy way to enjoy seafood any night of the week.
Tips For Better Flavor
- Preheat the air fryer to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the spices stick better.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket so the air can circulate freely for the best texture.

Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C) on the fish setting for a couple of minutes. While it’s warming up, mix together the steak seasoning, brown sugar, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of this spicy blend over each salmon fillet—feel free to add more if you like it extra fiery. Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If you have more fillets than fit, cook them in batches. Cook the salmon for around 18 minutes, or until it flakes easily when you poke it with a fork. Once done, transfer the salmon to a plate and keep it warm in the oven set to the lowest temperature. Repeat with any remaining fillets, then serve everything right away.
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the heat. A squeeze of lemon or a dollop of cooling yogurt sauce can also complement the fiery flavors nicely.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness without drying out the fish.
