Air Fryer Salmon
We are always looking for meals that can be made in 30 minutes or less. Some of our favorites are Creamy One Pot Tortellini with Sausage, Easy Chicken Tacos, and Margherita Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. The air fryer is one of my favorite ways to cook salmon. It is quicker than the grill or oven, and it comes out so flavorful and flakey. Whether you are making it for dinner, or making it for meal prep, its a great simple recipe with tons of variations!
Ingredients
Salmon Filets – You can use skinless or skin-on salmon for air fryer salmon, however I prefer skinless for this recipe. Lemon Juice – It is best if you use fresh lemons, but you can use bottled lemon juice. Olive Oil – I used extra virgin olive oil for this recipe. Salt and Pepper – For this simple recipe, I just used salt and pepper. However, you can add more spices if you’d like. Depending on what you’re making with the salmon, you can garlic powder, paprika, cajun spices, or any of your other favorite seasonings.
What to Serve with Air Fried Salmon
When I make this air fryer salmon for dinner, I like to serve it with a starchy side dish and a vegetable side dish. For starchy side dishes I like Easy Yellow Rice, The Perfect Baked Potato, Lemon Rice, or Potatoes Au Gratin. For a vegetable I often go for a Roasted Vegetable Medley, Oven Roasted Asparagus, or Lemon Garlic Brussel Sprouts. I also like to prep this salmon ahead of time to put on salads. After I cook it, I let it cool a bit and then I store it in the fridge in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for up to a week. Two of my favorite salads to top with salmon are a Classic Cobb Salad, and a Bowtie Caesar Salad.
