Easy Air-Fried Salmon (crispy and juicy!)

Main MealsHaley HansenComment

WHAT’S INSIDE:

  • wild-caught sockeye salmon - this type of salmon is much less fatty than the more widely known farmed Atlantic salmon, but the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is much healthier. additionally, wild-caught sockeye salmon is free of toxins and antibiotics, unlike its counterpart.

  • avocado oil - we’re cooking this fish quickly at almost 400 degrees Fahrenheit, so we want an oil with fatty acids that can handle that heat!

RECIPE:

16 oz wild-caught sockeye salmon
1 tablespoon avocado oil
your favorite seasoning
lemon wedge and cilantro, for garnish (optional)

  1. Turn your air-fryer on to “Air Fry” at 375F. Lightly brush with avocado oil.

  2. Cut your salmon into 4oz portions, brush with avocado oil, and season as desired. Salt and pepper make for a delicious simple seasoning that leaves room for creative flavoring elsewhere, like hummus or avocado or your favorite healthier dressing.

  3. Lay the salmon filets into the air fryer - two at a time, if needed, to prevent over-crowding - and fry for 15-18 minutes or until crispy on the outside and at least 125F on the inside.

  4. Remove from the air fryer, cool slightly, and garnish with lemon and cilantro, if using.

  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
