Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Use a fork or whisk to mix them well.
- Cover each salmon portion in the sauce, making sure each piece is completely coated.
- Let salmon sit in the lemon pepper sauce while preheating the basket at 370 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray, or brush a small amount of olive oil on the bottom of the basket. Place each portion, skin side down, in the prepared basket, and close the air fryer. (Discard any leftover sauce.)
- Cook the salmon at 370 degrees for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. It is done when you can flake it with a fork.
Notes
- I used small peppercorns and chopped them into small coarse pieces.
- There are flavored peppercorns you can substitute for black peppercorns.
- If you want a little spicier taste, you can do ½ tsp of the red pepper flakes, or substitute chili powder.
- My salmon portions were about 1 ¼ - 1 ½ inches in thickness, at the thickest part, and they took 10 minutes. They flaked very easily with a fork!
- I am not a big fan of horseradish taste, but I have found that cooking with it, makes foods so much more flavorful, without distracting from the taste. This recipe uses horseradish for just that reason. You can’t taste it at all, and the salmon is so moist and flaky!
