Chili-Lime Air Fryer Salmon
Description
This recipe uses wild salmon fillets seasoned with a blend including Tajin Classic chili-lime seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, and salt. The salmon is first prepped with oil and the seasoning, then baked briefly and finished in an air fryer to achieve a balanced texture between a moist interior and a lightly crisp exterior. Cooking in the air fryer allows for even heat circulation and a satisfying finish on the skin side.
After cooking, the salmon is served with freshly squeezed lime wedges and topped with chopped cilantro, imparting a fresh, herbaceous note. Optional toppings such as mango, avocado, or salsa can add sweetness, creaminess, or zest, respectively, complementing the mild heat from the chili-lime seasoning.
