Air fryer salmon fillets are a quick and healthy meal option that's both flavorful and easy to prepare. This recipe combines fresh salmon with a simple blend of bread, butter, and chives, resulting in a delicious, crispy exterior and tender, flaky interior. Using an air fryer ensures an evenly cooked fillet with minimal oil, making it a great choice for a nutritious dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear the slice of white bread into small pieces and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you have fine breadcrumbs. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop.
- Stir in the finely chopped chives until well combined.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them cook evenly and achieve a nice crust.
- Lightly brush each salmon fillet with the chive butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the buttered salmon fillets, pressing gently so they adhere well to the fish.
- Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer using a spatula.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped chives if desired, and enjoy your perfectly crispy air fryer salmon fillets!
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon fillets are of even thickness to promote even cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the salmon to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook the salmon in batches if necessary.
- Check the internal temperature of the salmon to make sure it reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.
