Air Fryer Salmon and Fish Recipes
This page collects the salmon and white-fish recipes. A 1-inch salmon fillet takes 7–9 minutes at 400°F (200°C), unbreaded, with no flip, to 145°F (63°C). Breaded cod or haddock takes 8–10 minutes at the same temperature and is flipped. They are not the same dish.
Which fillet you actually have
Salmon is fatty enough to cook bare. The air fryer salmon recipe leaves it skin-side down and pulls it when the flakes separate. White fish is lean, so the air fryer fish recipe gives it a crumb coat and a spray of oil. Using the salmon clock on a breaded cod fillet undercooks the coating. Using the breaded clock on salmon dries the fillet.
Both stop at 145°F (63°C). That number is the food-safety target for fish, not a suggestion that the two recipes share a minute. Thickness still moves the clock by a couple of minutes either way.
What this page does not cover
Shrimp, fish sticks from a bag, and a whole fish are not written up as recipes here. Shrimp timing is on the cooking times chart. If you are deciding what the appliance can do at all, that question belongs on the what-can-you-cook guide, not on this fillet page.

Questions
What is the difference between the salmon recipe and the fish recipe?
Salmon is unbreaded, 400°F for 7–9 minutes, and it is not flipped. The fish recipe is breaded cod, haddock, or pollock, 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipped halfway. Both finish at 145°F (63°C).
Where are the air fryer salmon recipes?
