I don’t use my air fryer as much as I probably should. I’ve been
hesitant to use it to make salmon because salmon is not cheap, and my fear is
that I would ruin it. The other day I decided to take the bull by the horns and
give it a go. I had a 4-ounce piece of salmon that I skinned and placed in a
paper liner and then coated it generously with lemon pepper seasoning. While I
was preparing the salmon, I preheated the air fryer to 400°F. When the air
fryer had adequately preheated, I dropped my paper
liner – highly recommended for SO many things –
with my spice-coated salmon in, slid the drawer closed, and set the timer for 9
minutes. It was perfect! While it was cooking, I had asparagus roasting in my
toaster oven for 10 minutes, so I had my dinner on the table, if you want to
count prep time, in 15 minutes. Super simple, super healthy, very delicious. If
you don’t have an air fryer, you need to get one. My only experience is with
the bucket style that is perfect for just me. I have this one; you might want to shop around.

Our air fryer is very similar to yours. We recently bought some blackened seasoning, and I am craving a blackened fish fillet, so thanks for experimenting for me!
ReplyDeleteSimple but it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI don't have an air fryer as yet, but I live salmon and may just end up purchasing one now. This looks and sounds delicious. Thank you 😊 so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI let Son #2 take the air fryer with him when he moved out - mores the pity as this looks really good.
