Description
Air fryer salmon steak is a family favorite that is quick and easy to prepare. Ready in about 12 minutes, these steaks are seasoned and air-fried to perfection until tender and juicy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 10oz Salmon steaks (about 300g each)
- 1½ Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ Tablespoon old bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion granules
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Step: In a small bowl, combine old bay seasoning, onion granules, paprika and garlic granules, and mix.
- Step: Preheat your air fryer to 400F/200C for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking oil.
- Step: Pat the salmon dry with a kitchen paper towel and season with salt and black pepper. Then sprinkle the spice mix on top of each steak. Drizzle olive oil on it and carefully rub it in the fish. Flip and repeat the seasoning process on the other side.
- Step: Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, leaving enough space between each steak. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the desired level of doneness and the size of the salmon. There is no need to flip the fish. If you do decide to flip the salmon, do so carefully so it doesn’t break.
- Step: Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes (2-3 minutes). Serve with lemon wedges and any additional sides of your choice.
Notes
Store air fryer salmon steaks in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Perfect for meal prep! You can eat it cold on a salad, reheat it as needed, or use it in other pasta dishes.
