Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets
  • 4 tablespoons jerk sauce
  • juice of 1 lime fresh
  • 4 cloves garlic minced finely

Instructions

  • Pat salmon filets with paper towel to remove any excess water.
  • In a small bowl combine jerk sauce with 1/2 lime juice and garlic. Stir to mix well.
  • Pour over salmon and let marinate at least 10 minutes. Can be marinated up to a day in advance.
  • Preheat air fryer to the highest temperature possible (in a ninja foodi with broiler lid, it is broil setting at 450 degrees) and let air fryer get scorching hot, about five minutes.
  • Spray inside of air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray or line with a piece of foil.
  • Place salmon in air fryer, skin down, and close lid.
  • Cook for 8 minutes, check salmon. For rare, you can pull the salmon once the outside has browned, right around 8 minutes.
  • For fully cooked salmon, continue to cook in air fryer until salmon meat reads 135 degrees with a digital thermometer. It will continue to cook after you remove from air fryer.
  • Drizzle remaining 1/2 lime juice over salmon and serve.
