If you have read my Mother’s Day post, I mentioned there that my husband got me a Ninja Foodi Countertop Grill as one of my gifts. From then on, I couldn’t wait to try using it. I’ve been seeing a lot of air fryer recipes online that sure made me drool and I can’t wait to try them for myself.
So, here’s my first air fryer dish: Air fryer salmon.
If you have been following us here on the blog, you may already know by now that I love seafood. We all love seafood over here, actually. Coming from a tropical country and with my hometown literally located by a bay, I grew up eating seafood. And super fresh seafood at that. Like the ones that just came out of the ocean. Yep, that fresh.
My hometown, GenSan, the nickname for General Santos City, is actually the Tuna Capital of the World. I think I’ve said that here before. 🙂
Salmon is not common in my country, though. But we do have them in cans. That said, salmon wasn’t really what we had there all the time. But it became one of my favorites here in the U.S.
Here’s my new toy! And here’s the super easy and super quick recipe that I did with super little ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 salmon fillet (you can have two, but this big serving of salmon is enough for both the hubs and I)
- olive oil
- paprika
- salt
- pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer and set at 390 degrees for 7 minutes.
- Coat salmon with olive oil.
- Season generously with paprika, salt and pepper.
- Place fillet in the basket of the air fryer.
- Enjoy!
See how easy easy is? And doesn’t that salmon looks delicious!
Trust me, it was so good! It actually tasted better than roasted salmon. And now I’m obsessed with my air fryer.
Have you tried air frying salmon before?
Pairing this with mashed potatoes and some salad. My weekend treat-meal is ready 😀
I love a good hunk of salmon! I love how much room that Ninja Foodie has!
I plan to try this one this week. It looks like a good way to make salmon.
Yummy! I know there are more uses for my air fryer than just making french fries. I am going to try your recipe!
It sounds great to use this grill, and thanks for the yummy recipe.
I love salmon and I also like that it needs just a small amount of seasonings to bring out its flavors. Your air fryer recipe is worth a try, I sometimes have the tendency to ruin salmon when I cook it In a pan.
Wow, this looks really delicious, and it looks so easy to prepare. I love it and will def try this recipe.
Salmon comes out great in the air fryer. My problem is I don’t have enough room!
Sounds like a great appliance! That is a great gift idea for Mother’s Day.
Looks yummy! I want to have an air fryer now.
I love healthy food! And this Air Fryer Salmon is exactly what I need in my menu!
I LOVE my airfryer! I’ve never cooked salmon in it but will definitely try it as I need this fish in my diet.
