It can't get any easier than this! Air fryer for the win. Coat your salmon with oil, salt, and pepper and place it in the air fryer. Cook for about 10 minutes and dinner is served. Cook a veggie side like asparagus, broccoli, or kale and a grain, like quinoa or brown rice, and you have a complete nutritious meal. Your weeknight dinner just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the air fryer. You'll get a nice crisp coating on the outside of the salmon and tender, buttery inside.

Directions

Mealthy Tip

This is a simple recipe for salmon in it's purest form. Brush salmon with soy sauce and sesame oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a simple sesame crusted salmon. Add your favorite seasonings, glazes, etc. to jazz your salmon up as desired. You may need to cook your salmon a little longer, depending on the thickness of the cut.

Abby Pearson says:

Really quick and easy salmon recipe. The only thing I added was lemon juice on top. For the filets I used, 9 minutes was the perfect length of time.

Bill Jordan says:

Perfect every time. I rub olive oil on both sides add salt and seafood seasoning from Omaha steaks and sometimes dip in sesame ginger sauce for a variety.
