EQUIPMENT
- Air Fryer
- Basting brush
INGREDIENTS
- 2 6 oz salmon filets
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper chili flakes , optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- Season the filets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together butter, parsley, and garlic. Using a small basting brush, generously coat the filets with the butter mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. When ready, transfer salmon to the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Enjoy right away.
NOTES
- Drizzle the salmon filets with lemon juice before serving for extra flavor.
- If you use frozen salmon filets, add an additional 4-5 minutes to the cooking time.
- If you don’t have a thermometer, you can tell salmon is cooked by the colour. Raw salmon is red, when it’s cooked it will be an opaque pink.
