Heat air fryer to 400 degrees, if preheating is recommended for your air fryer. I airfried at 375° for 10 minutes and did not turn. It was a little overdone. I will try 400° for 8 minutes next time. Also add some lemon pepper and omit the regular pepper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush olive oil all over salmon; season with salt and pepper and dill. If using lemon and cherry tomatoes, thinly slice half the lemon crosswise; set the remaining lemon half aside. In a small bowl, add the cherry tomatoes, lemon slices and 1 tablespoon olive oil. season with salt and toss to combine.
Place salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Top with lemon slices and scatter tomatoes around the basket. Cook until salmon skin is crisped and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the fillets and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes evenly. Squeeze remaining lemon half over salmon fillets (if using) and serve.

How Long It Takes to Cook Salmon in the Air Fryer: The cook time depends on the thickness and temperature of the fillets. To test for doneness, insert a metal cake tester or thin paring knife into the middle of a fillet to see if the fish is warmed all the way through. If the metal feels cold, continue to cook for an additional minute or two.  How Long It Takes to Cook Salmon in the Air Fryer: The cook time depends on the thickness and temperature of the fillets.
