How to make this recipe with frozen salmon fillets

If you don't have time to thaw your fillets you can make this recipe with frozen ones. Preheat your Air Fryer to 170 degrees C (340 F). Rinse your fillets under warm water to get rid of any excess ice. Go through step 2-4 like you normally would. Air Fry at 170 degrees Celsius (340 F) for 10-15 minutes, (depending on the thickness of the fish) checking the internal temperature of the fillets at the 10 minute mark. Your fish needs to reach an internal temperature of 51 C or 125 F.
