How to make the perfect air fryer salmon

by Staff Bona

Here’s how to make salmon fillets that cook beautifully in an air fryer and make a delicious meal when coated in a herb seasoning and served with greens and grains or whatever sides you prefer.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • 1 tsp garlic granules (optional)
  • 4 salmon fillets (we used 4 x 130g fillets), skin on or removed
  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • cooked seasonal greens and grains such as quinoa or brown rice, to serve (optional)

 

Method

  • STEP 1
    Combine the salt, pepper, mixed herbs and garlic granules, if using, in a bowl, then scatter onto a plate. Rub each salmon fillet with a little olive oil and roll in the seasoning to coat.
  • STEP 2
    Put in the air fryer basket in one layer and cook at 180C for 8-10 mins, until cooked through. If you have larger salmon fillets they will need to be cooked for longer – keep checking after 10 mins and cook in 1-2 min blasts, until ready. Serve with greens and quinoa or rice, if you like.

Prep time:5 mins

Cook for:8 mins – 10 mins

Serves: 4
