I have always heard that air fryer salmon was amazing. My friends had kept telling me to try it. We love salmon at our house so much, so I finally gave it a go. It’s amazing! It cooks perfectly in a short amount of time. And it turns out so good!
This air fryer salmon recipe comes from a new book by my friend Gina Homolka: Skinnytaste Air Fryer Dinners- 75 Healthy Recipes for Easy Weeknight Meals. If you have an air fryer, then this book is for you. I love what I’m seeing in this book for healthy dinner choices. And if you don’t have an air fryer, you must pick one up! I like the Cosori Air Fryer. It’s a little big larger than most. And it works great!
