Air Fryer Salmon

A

Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2½ + leftovers

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  • Coat the salmon fillets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon pepper.
  • Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin side down if your salmon has skin.
  • Cook the salmon at 390 °F for 7-8 minutes.
  • Check the salmon’s doneness with a fork. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes based on the thickness of the fillets.

Notes:

  • If you’re following the week 1 meal plan, be sure to store leftover salmon in the refrigerator, as you’ll be using it to make salmon cakes tomorrow.
  • In this recipe, I completely omit salt during the cooking process and only add it afterward to taste.

About me

Hey there! I'm Ann-Louise, and I proudly wear the badge of a working mom with honor. Although I'm originally from Sweden, I've been fortunate to call beautiful San Diego my home for the past 11 years.

My life's a beautiful juggling act, constantly striving to strike that perfect balance between my professional commitments and cherishing precious moments with my little superstar, Luca, who brightened our lives in September 2022. Some days, I feel like I've got it all together, while on others, well, let's just say it's a work in progress.

In the midst of the motherhood hustle, I've become quite the expert in food planning and prepping, my secret weapon for staying sane and keeping things running smoothly on those bustling weekdays.

When I'm not immersed in food prep and planning, you can find me dedicated to my ultimate passion – exercise! It's not just a hobby; it's my escape, keeping me energized and centered. Though it took some time to rediscover my exercise groove after giving birth, I now love every moment of it.

Amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood, Mamas Bits & Bites is my way of sharing a slice of joy and inspiration with fellow moms on their unique journeys.
