If you want crispy skin (who doesn’t), open the airfryer at the 4th minute mark, and using a pair of tongs, carefully peel off skin. It should take no effort at all and will come off easily. Fry the skin alongside the salmon. When the time is up, remove the salmon and continue to fry the skin for 2-3 minutes until the timer goes off.

Airfried Salmon in Lemon-Butter Sauce Makes 2 servings What I used: 2 portions salmon fillet (pat dry and sprinkle salt both sides) For the lemon-butter sauce 2 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon olive oil 1/4 cup white wine (I used chardonnay as that’s what I have) 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons salted butter, cold (about 28g but please use agaration) Sprinkle of dried italian herbs/ garlic onion seasoning (optional) Steps: 1. Preheat your airfryer for at least 10 minutes at 180C. Place salmon on grill pan and set timer to 6 minutes. Follow instructions above (in the blog post) if you wanna get the super crispy skin. 2. In the meantime, make the lemon-butter sauce. On medium high heat, sauteed garlic in the olive oil. Once fragrant, add the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to boil, lower heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Add in a sprinkle of italian herbs and garlic/onion seasoning if you have them on hand. 3. Spoon over salmon and serve with your choice of sides. I made truffle fries with shaved gouda cheese plus some beans and salad.
