AIR FRYER FROZEN SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare your air fryer. For this method, I not only preheat my air fryer to 400F, but I also lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado oil. This helps keep the salmon from sticking as it thaws and then cooks.
• Air fry the salmon filet. Place frozen salmon filets at the bottom of the air fryer basket and set the timer for 15 minutes. Halfway through, take a spatula and get under the salmon to release it and flip over.
• Season the salmon. After it's flipped, brush with a small amount of avocado oil, then add salt and pepper. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes more or until salmon is completely cooked through.
• Remove and serve. Remove the cooked salmon using tongs or a spatula. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and serve hot with your favorite side dish.

HOW TO COOK FROZEN SALMON IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Preheat your air fryer to 390°F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Remove any excess ice from your salmon fillets. Place the frozen fillets directly in your air fryer basket. (If your salmon still has the skin on, place it in the basket skin-side down.)
• Cook the frozen salmon for 7 minutes.
• Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the lemon sliced over the fillets.
• Return the salmon to the air fryer and cook another 3-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon and your prefered level of doneness. The salmon is ready whn it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F and flakes easily when scraped with a fork. For the salmon pictured above, I cooked for 3 minutes. For thicker fillets I set the timer for 5 minutes.

AIR FRYER SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the salt, pepper, mixed herbs and garlic granules, if using, in a bowl, then scatter onto a plate. Rub each salmon fillet with a little olive oil and roll in the seasoning to coat.
• Put in the air fryer basket in one layer and cook at 180C for 8-10 mins, until cooked through. If you have larger salmon fillets they will need to be cooked for longer - keep checking after 10 mins and cook in 1-2 min blasts, until ready. Serve with greens and quinoa or rice, if you like.
