salmon filets – salmon is packed with long-chain omega-3 fatty acids which can help reduce inflammation and blood pressure. It’s a great source of protein and has a ton of key vitamins and minerals. (Source) For this recipe you’ll want two 6 oz evenly sized filets of salmon with the skin on. I recommend getting individual filets from your grocer but don’t be afraid of frozen filets, either! Flash frozen fish can be just as healthy. Just make sure the salmon is thawed if you are using frozen filets. olive oil – this will coat your salmon, keep things moist and help the seasoning and spices to stick to the salmon. garlic – you’ll need one minced clove of garlic. If you don’t have any on hand you can use garlic powder, I’d use about 1/4 teaspoon to equal one clove. seasonings – sea salt and pepper to taste. Paprika is optional, but adds nice flavor! Smoked paprika would also add a nice smokiness! lemon – a slice of lemon for serving elevates this simple salmon dish.
Pair it with veggie sides like baked sweet potato fries, simple beet greens, or roasted broccoli. If you’re in the mood for more air fryer action, try air fryer sweet potatoes or air fryer brussels sprouts. Make it a full meal by adding a grain like quinoa, cauliflower rice or cilantro rice. It’s the perfect balance! Serve it over one of my go-to salads like the garlicky kale salad, sweet kale salad or easy spinach salad. Really, you can boost the protein for any of my salad recipes with this salmon! Use this air fryer salmon in my superfood salmon salad, Mediterranean salmon salad or pesto salmon bowl. Leftovers? They’re perfect for the viral salmon rice bowl that’s been everywhere lately! Or, get a little creative and add it to my salmon mac and cheese bowl.
To reheat, add salmon to a skillet over medium low heat until heated throughout
