Chile Lime Air Fryer Salmon

Salmon is the only fish I like to cook at home but it has to be very fresh. I’m pretty particular about fish even though I love sushi and would pretty much any type of fish sashimi.

This salmon recipe is very easy to make and it only requires 3 ingredients and 8 minutes to cook.

There are only two places I get salmon, Butcher Box which they ship wild salmon, and Trader Joe’s farm raise salmon.

For seasoning I love Trader Joe’s Chile Lime seasoning blend, it has a hint of spice which complements the salmon very well. If you don’t have Trader Joe’s near by Tajin with Lime seasoning also works and you can find it pretty much at any supermarket in the produce isle or order it through Amazon.

Chile Lime and Tajin with Lime seasonings pair very well with fruit such as mangos, jicama, watermelon, and cucumber to name a few.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of salmon about 1 inch thick

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 2 tbsp Chile with Lime seasoning blend from Trader Joe’s or Tajin with Lime seasoning

Directions

• Preheat your air fryer at 400F
• Cover the baking sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. If you’re using your air fryer basket lightly spray it with avocado oil/coconut oil or grape seed oil
• Place the salmon on a plate and add the lemon juice to it. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes
• Sprinkle the seasoning to both sides of the fish
• Air fry the salmon for 4 minutes skin down
• After 4 minutes flip over the salmon and cook for another 4 minutes, skin will become crispy, and server

We eat salmon once a week and I like to pair it with a salad and roasted veggies. You can make a salad bowl and top it off with salmon, it’s a super healthy, fast and easy recipe to make.

Enjoy!
