Air Fryer Salmon
Salmon fillets achieve a perfect balance of crispness and tenderness when prepared in an air fryer. Coated with a fragrant blend of herbs and spices, this dish is effortlessly flavorful and pairs beautifully with wholesome greens and grains for a well-rounded meal.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets each approximately 130g, with or without skin
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tsp garlic granules optional
- Cooked seasonal greens and grains such as quinoa or brown rice for serving (optional)
- Method
Instructions
- Step 1
- In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, mixed herbs, and garlic granules, if using. Spread the seasoning blend onto a plate. Lightly coat each salmon fillet with olive oil, then roll them in the seasoning mixture to ensure an even coating.
- Step 2
- Arrange the fillets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Cook at 180°C for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. For larger fillets, additional cooking time may be required—check for doneness after 10 minutes and continue in 1-2 minute increments if necessary.
Notes
Serve immediately with seasonal greens and a side of quinoa or brown rice, if desired.
