Chef’s secret
- Air frying is quick, so make sure to check on the salmon to avoid overcooking. Perfectly cooked salmon is tender and juicy inside.
- For an even richer flavour, allow rub to sit for 30 minutes before applying. This allows the flavours to blend even more.
- For an extra touch, add crunch and sweetness to the arugula salad with a few grilled pine nuts.
- Salmon temperature**: Remove salmon from fridge 15 minutes before cooking. This will ensure even cooking and reduce the risk of overcooking.
