Ingredients

2 tablespoons grill seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
0.75 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pounds salmon fillets, skin on

Method

Set your air fryer to the fish setting of 330 degrees F (165 degrees C) and let it preheat for 2 minutes.
Mix the steak seasoning, brown sugar, cumin, coriander, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Apply roughly 2 teaspoons of this mix to every salmon fillet. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
Air fry the salmon for about 18 minutes, until it flakes apart easily with a fork. You may need to cook in batches. Move the cooked fish to a plate and keep it warm in an oven set to its lowest temperature. Continue with any remaining fillets, then serve straight away.
