3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat air-fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place cedar-plank salmon fillet (skin-on) (6 oz salmon fillet placed on pre-soaked mini cedar plank sized to fit air fryer basket) in a single layer with space between items for convection airflow.

2
Cook

Cook for 10–13 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

3
Check & Rest

Surface is glistening with fragrant cedar aroma, delicate white albumin beads, and flesh flakes tenderly Confirm internal temperature reaches 128°F (53°C). Rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Below the USDA 145°F seafood recommendation; standard culinary target for salmon. Soak the mini cedar plank in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent scorching and release wood smoke.
