Air Fryer Keto Garlic Butter Salmon

Air frying salmon is the best way other than grilled, to cook a perfectly delicious salmon dish. It is easy, delicious, and with the use of parchment paper, there is virtually no cleanup. Just simply rinse the air fryer basket, throw after the parchment liner, and your clean up from dinner or lunch is complete.  This can be served as the main entree, over rice or over a garden salad.

I love eating salmon it is a great source of protein, Omega 3’s, and can be flavored in a number of ways.

Here are some tips for cooking salmon.

1. Leave the skin on: It provides a great layer for the skin and the air fryer basket (or parchment paper). Since the skin crisps up, it’s easier to flip it halfway through the cooking process. Skin is perfectly edible, so you can choose to eat it or not eat it. It’s totally up to you.
2. Do not Overcook The Salmon: This is actually a very common mistake for everyone cooking
   salmon. Once the salmon fillet starts to turn white, remove it from the air fryer because it is
   cooked.
3. The best way to cook salmon is medium-rare to a medium is a perfect way since it will not be dried out in the middle.

Can I Change Up The Seasoning

Go right ahead and season up your salmon how you prefer to season it. Then cook the same as directed in the recipe card. Salmon is delicious, and when cooked properly, you will find any of your favorite seasonings can become a great compliment to this pink fleshy fish. 

Does An Air Fryer Brown Food 

You will see that air frying can brown up the food the same way as deep frying. You just need to spritz the food with a little oil. Do not use a can of cooking spray. That can eat away the enamel on the basket or trays. Use an oil mister. It will help give your food that perfect coating to help brown up the food you are cooking.

How To Bring Flavor Out In Salmon
