Quick dinner recipes are my favorite thing to put on the meal plan for the week and my air fryer and instant pot are two of my all time favorite kitchen appliances.

Focusing on healthy and wholesome meals is something that I try to do when I plan the meals for the week ahead! 

Salmon is on my list of delicious, healthy meals because eating at least two servings of salmon per week can reduce your risk of chronic illnesses!! This is all thanks to all those omega-3’s, selenium, and vitamins A and D!

You’re going to be SO impressed when you use your air fryer to cook salmon, they came out SO juicy and cooked perfectly.   The result is a quick, healthy meal for the entire family. Did you know that just one 4-ounce serving contains 26 grams of protein??

Tips for Salmon in the Air Fryer

• Have fun experimenting with other flavors!! Think cajun, creole, BBQ and more!! 
• Add some fresh lemon or orange juice for a delicious flavor and color.
• Make sure you flip the salmon fillets over halfway through the cook time to ensure even cooking. 

What Temperature Should you Cook Salmon?

Cooked salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145ºF. Make sure you’re checking the internal temperature at the thickest part of the salmon fillet. 

Times vary so be sure you check on the level of doneness halfway through and adjust as needed!
