How to prepare salmon in the air fryer
Let’s start preparing Salmon in the air fryer: wash the salmon fillets well and remove any bones. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate and add a pinch of salt and pepper, the chopped parsley and the grated lemon zest.
Cut the lemon and squeeze the juice from half of it; add one tablespoon to the breadcrumbs and mix well until you obtain a homogeneous, sandy and slightly moist mixture.
Coat the salmon on both sides in the seasoned breadcrumbs so you get a nice crust.
Place the salmon in the air fryer basket and spray a few puffs of oil using the mister. Cook at 356°F for 20 minutes; at halfway through cooking remove the basket and turn the salmon fillets.
When the Salmon in the air fryer is ready, remove it from the airfryer and serve hot, perhaps with some lemon slices.
