Ingredients

Parmesan Crusted Salmon

2 salmon filets about 1-1½ inches thick is best
3 Tbsp mayo of choice I use homemade avocado oil mayo
3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
½ lemon juiced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
pinch of salt

Topping & Serving Ideas:

fresh parsley chopped
cooked quinoa & mixed veggies

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 390°F (200°C) or 350°F (180°C)*, depending on your cooking preference.
In a bowl, mix together mayo, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and seasonings.
Spread on top of salmon filets, then place into preheated air fryer, skin side down.
Cook at 390°F (200°C) for 7-8 minutes, or at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Check doneness with a fork. Cook another minute if needed. (Feel free to open air fryer a minute early to check doneness.)
Rest 2 minutes before serving.
Top with a bit of chopped parsley and serve over quinoa and veggies, or any accompaniments you like!

Notes

Cooking Temperature:

*Salmon is like steak—most people have a preference as to how rare or well-done it’s cooked! If you prefer your salmon more well-done or you’re in a time-crunch, you can cook at a higher temperature (390°F or 200°C) for less time. If you prefer your salmon more tender and less done, cook at a lower temperature (350°F or 180°C) for a bit more time.
