Sure! Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for air fryer salmon:
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh herbs like dill or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. If the fillets have skin on, you can leave it on or remove it according to your preference.
- Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush the mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Air Fry the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the fillets in batches.
- Cook the Salmon: Cook the salmon in the preheated air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. For medium-rare salmon, cook for 10 minutes, and for well-done salmon, cook for 12 minutes.
- Check for Doneness: To ensure the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness, you can use a fork to gently flake the flesh. It should be opaque and easily flake apart.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer basket and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air fryer salmon! Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
