Notes

Salmon should be cooked to 145 degrees, but will continue to cook for a few minutes after being removed from the oven, so generally pulling it out at 135 degrees will give you fully cooked but not overcooked fish.
For easy clean up, line pan with aluminum foil.  Do NOT preheat air fryer with foil in it.
