What kind of salmon should I use?
Please use wild-caught salmon if possible.
Why the quick cook time?
The air fryer circulates heated air very well, which helps to cook food quickly. Salmon is also a delicate piece of meat and does not require much cooking.
What if I do not have an air fryer?
If you do not have an air fryer, please heat your oven to 400 F and cook the salmon for a similar length of time, adding more minutes as necessary until the salmon is fully cooked.
Ingredients
- 12 ounce salmon
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon mayo
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole grain dijon mustard
Instructions
- Add the salmon to the air fryer basket and season with the kosher salt on both sides. If there is skin on the salmon, place the salmon skin-side down. Heat in the air fryer at 400 F for 3 minutes.
- In the meantime, combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Once the 3 minutes have elapsed on the salmon, spread the mayo mixture on top of both fillets. Then return the salmon to the air fryer for another 2 minutes. The mayo will brown slightly and top of the salmon. Serve immediately!
