Instructions

1
Place salmon fillets on a cutting board and poke several holes in the flesh with a fork.

Generously sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the top of the salmon fillets.
4
Gently pat the seasoning into the salmon to help it adhere.

Place the seasoned salmon fillets onto the air fryer tray.
6
Cook in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the seasoning is toasted.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat the salmon dry after marinating to help the everything bagel crust adhere and achieve maximum crispness.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange fillets skin-side down in a single layer for even cooking.
Let the salmon rest for 2–3 minutes after cooking before serving to retain juices.
For extra flavor, toast the everything bagel seasoning in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before applying to reduce raw spice intensity.

Substitutions

Soy sauce → tamari or coconut aminos (gluten-free, similar umami depth)
Everything bagel seasoning → dukkah or za'atar (different flavor profile but same crispy textural effect)
Salmon fillets → halibut, cod, or sea bass (adjust cooking time ±2 minutes depending on thickness)

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven or air fryer to preserve texture; avoid microwaving.

Common Questions

How do I know when the salmon is done cooking?

The salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Check the thickest part of the fillet; it should be opaque throughout.
