Description

Frozen Salmon in the Air Fryer is a quick, easy way to enjoy tender, flaky fish without the hassle of thawing. In just minutes, you’ll have a healthy, delicious meal perfect for any day of the week! 

Ingredients 

  • 2 frozen salmon fillets, about 6 ounce each
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F for 3-5 minutes so that it’s already hot when you add the salmon.
  • Place the frozen salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, salmon skin side down, leaving some space between each fillet for even cooking. Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking and enhance flavor. Season the salmon with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Set cook time for 7 minutes.
  • The sauce is optional, but I definitely recommend making it! Add the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Halfway during the cooking process, flip the frozen salmon fillets over and brush on the maple Dijon sauce. Set cook time for 7-9 minutes.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray, Or olive oil, avocado oil.
  • Parchment Paper, optional
