Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss all of our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes can be found in our post. Check it out!
  • TOP TIP: For more even cooking, remove salmon from the refrigerator 15 to 20 minutes prior to baking
  • AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F then cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. The air fryer can dry out salmon FAST -so watch it closely.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS: Use a creamy salad dressing such as ranch or caesar in place of mayonnaise. Reduce the amount of salt used in the recipe as dressing is often saltier than mayo.
  • SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with a wedge of lemon and some diced fresh parsley as garnish. For a simple side dish meal steam broccoli, green beans or cauliflower.
