Dive into a world of exquisite flavours with our Crispy Herb-Crusted Air-Fried Crispy Salmon.
Immerse yourself in the delicate flakiness of perfectly cooked salmon, encased in a satisfyingly crunchy herb crust.
Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets (6-8 oz each), skin-on
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or dill)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
This Air-Fried Crispy Salmon cooks in just 10-12 minutes and comes out perfectly tender and flaky on the inside with an amazing top crust. The sweet mustard topping makes this one of our favourite dishes.
Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
Prepare the Herb Crust:
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Salmon:
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil on the flesh side.
Press the herb crust mixture onto the oiled side of the salmon, ensuring an even coating.
Air Frying:
Place the herb-crusted salmon fillets, crust side up, in the preheated air fryer basket.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve and Enjoy:
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer it to serving plates.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets and serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
Tips:
For an extra burst of citrus, add a touch of lemon zest to the herb crust mixture.
Skin-on salmon helps retain moisture and flavour during cooking.
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so adjust accordingly for your desired level of doneness.
This recipe not only tantalises your taste buds but also offers a healthier twist on a classic favourite. Say goodbye to greasy pans and hello to the magic of the air fryer!
