Ingredients To Air Fry Salmon
Air fryer salmon comes together beautifully with just a few ingredients. Most of these you might have in your pantry already, but here is what to need to make our suggested salmon seasoning:
- Salmon: Since it is a salmon dish, skin-on or skinless works just fine, whichever suits your taste. We recommend keeping it with the skin since this gets extra crispy. Go for a fresh and bright pinkish-orange king or sockeye salmon.
- Dijon Mustard: Goes on top of salmon fillets, it will keep the top moist and give all that tangy and zippy taste with a bonus of complementing spices used. You can also use ground mustard if you want an additional texture.
- Seasoning: Salmon rub is made using salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Herbally speaking, you can use oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Ginger and Garlic: You can use ginger and garlic powder for flavor, but we highly recommend you go with fresh garlic and fresh ginger. Grate the ginger, and mince the garlic to make a fine paste that then goes on top of the salmon fillets.
