Air Fryer Salmon
Description
Air Fryer Salmon involves seasoning salmon fillets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, then cooking them in an air fryer at 400°F for about 7 to 9 minutes. The air fryer gently crisps the surface without overcooking, preserving a moist texture inside. This technique allows for quick preparation while achieving even cooking. Lemon wedges served alongside add citrus brightness, and tartar sauce provides a creamy contrast to the seasoned fish.
The recipe suits a straightforward seafood dinner and can be paired with green vegetables or grains. The simplicity of seasoning lets the natural flavor of salmon shine without heavy sauces.
Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, and the fillets freeze well for up to three months. Thawing overnight in the refrigerator is recommended before reheating or incorporating into other dishes.
