Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Salmon Jerky Recipes

AIR FRYER LEMON-PEPPER SALMON JERKY

Steps:

• Freeze salmon for 1 hour. In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, peppercorns, lemon zest, liquid smoke, celery seeds, onion and garlic powders, and salt. Remove the salmon from the freezer and cut it into thin strips (about 1/2 inch), then place in the marinade. Cover and marinate for 1 to 3 hours in the fridge. Remove strips and place on a plate, patting dry with a paper towel. Set the air fryer to 180°F (or lowest available temperature), and place the salmon strips in the fryer basket in a single layer. Fry for about 3 hours, flipping over halfway through. Salmon is done when dried all the way through, but slightly chewy. Store in a cool dry place in a sealed container.

AIR FRYER TILAPIA WITH FRESH LEMON PEPPER

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 3 minutes.
• While fryer is preheating, rinse tilapia fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Combine lemon zest, olive oil, pepper, salt, and garlic in a bowl. Rub spice mixture over the tilapia. Sprinkle lightly with paprika. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the filets inside, coated side up.
• Air fry until fish can be flaked with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Do not crowd the fish filets; you may need to fry a second batch, depending on the size of your air fryer.
• Remove tilapia to a plate, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

SPICY SALMON JERKY

Steps:

• Slice salmon fillets into 4 equal sections, width-wise. Rotate each section 90 degrees and slice lengthwise, about 1/4-inch thick. Remove pin bones with needle-nose pliers. Don't slice bony sections near the center of the fillet.
• Stir soy sauce, molasses, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, liquid smoke, and hot sauce together in a glass or plastic bowl until marinade is well-mixed. Place salmon in the marinade, ensuring every strip is covered. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Remove salmon from bowl and drain liquid using a colander. Pat the salmon dry using paper towels.
• Place each salmon strip in a dehydrator and run the dehydrator according to manufacturer's instructions until desired doneness is reached, about 6 hours. Check every few hours for doneness.
