Ingredients
Scale

- Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon skin-side down in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the sauces.
