Air fryer recipe for fresh salmon in Wethersfield, CT and Hartford, CTIs Air Frying a Substitute for Deep Frying?

Air frying is an innovative method of cooking that can reduce calories by up to 75%. In short, air frying can largely substitute deep frying by producing a crispy texture with significantly less oil. Certain types of batter or delicate textures may not develop a crisp as well in an air fryer. Simply modify recipes to enjoy healthier seafood dishes with the desired crunch.

Perfect Air Fryer Salmon

For this recipe, pick up two wild-caught or farm-raised salmon fillets about 1 ½-inches thick, preferably at City Fish Market. Once you get home, you are minutes away from enjoying tender, juicy and perfect air fryer salmon. The only other ingredients needed are 2 tsps. avocado oil; 2 tsps. paprika; salt; and course black pepper. Instructions follow:

  • If necessary, remove any bones from your salmon. 
  • Leave the salmon on the counter so that it can be at room temperature before placing it in the air fryer.
  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
  • Apply the seasonings, being sure to use generous amounts of salt and pepper.
  • Lightly coat salmon with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon skin down inside the air fryer.
  • Arrange the salmon in a single layer without overcrowding.
  • Cooking time is approximately 7 minutes in a pre-heated air fryer.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the thickest part of the fillet is 145°F.
  • Just before serving, squeeze on fresh lemon juice.
