If only everything was as easy as this 10-minute Airfryer salmon

Making salmon fillets in the air fryer is one of the best cooking tips I’ve learned in the past year. Salmon cooked on the stovetop in a skillet is great, but you’ll definitely end up with a greasy, fishy stovetop. Grilling or baking salmon in the built-in oven is also a good option, but you’ll have to heat up that big handle on an appliance for a few servings of fish.

Air fryer Salmon is a revelation to me and the fast, clean method has me eating more seafood than ever. An air fryer makes fish fast, makes very little mess and uses less energy than the large ovenThe entire recipe takes about 10 minutes and the salmon from the air fryer is always medium-rare.

As with most fillets of fishSalmon tastes best when grilled at a high temperature so that the outer layer develops a crust without overcooking it in the middle. Airfryers are designed to do just that, using super convection, which involves blowing hot air at high speed into a small cooking chamber by a powerful fan.

Air fryers only take a few minutes to preheat, so if you’re making a quick meal for one or two during the week, cooking salmon in the air fryer is a trump card. Air fryers also have lower cost to run They use less energy than large ovens and don’t create a greasy mess like searing salmon on the stovetop.

Preparing salmon in the airfryer takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. This way you make a perfect fish fillet every time.

What else can you prepare in the air fryer?

It has become my go-to for roasted chickento replace my slow and dirty oven dishwashing recipe. I recently learned to make juicy Airfryer cheeseburgers and hiss bacon in less than 10 minutes and without dirtying the frying pan or baking tray.
