This recipe has turned my seafood hating husband into someone who asks for salmon every week! You will feel like you’ve stepped into a high end restaurant after making this crusted salmon dish.
7 steps to the best salmon ever
Heat the air fryer
Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees
Slather the salmon
On a cutting board, place salmon and slather top with dijon mustard
Mix the crust
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper
Press it on
Place breadcrumb mixture on top of salmon filets and press down
Set it in the basket
Spray air fryer with cooking spray and place salmon inside
Cook it through
Cook for 10- 15 mins or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees
Serve it hot
Serve with veggies over rice or mashed potatoes
Cook's tips
- Using a meat thermometer is the best way to make sure you don’t under or over cook your salmon
- If you would like you can use melted butter instead of olive oil in your breadcrumb mixture
