Air Fryer Marinated Salmon, a tasty and healthy dish that combines the convenience of air frying with the nutritional richness and goodness of salmon.
Preparing marinated salmon in the air fryer is a practical and healthy way to enjoy this omega-3-rich fish, perfect for a quick and nutritious dinner.
Today I suggest a soy sauce-based marinade, but there are many combinations, all worth trying (I’ll leave you some ideas in the FAQ)!
You can serve this dish with grilled vegetables, fresh salad, or rice for a complete and balanced meal.
If you’re unsure about the salmon cooking, you can use a kitchen thermometer: the salmon is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
