Description
Delicious and easy air fryer salmon served with a creamy mustard-herb sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, thawed if frozen
- 4 tsp. olive oil, for rubbing on salmon
- 2 tsp. fish rub, for rubbing on salmon
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 T mayo
- 1 T Dijon mustard, or slightly more
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 T finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 T finely chopped green onion
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
Instructions
- Thaw salmon overnight in the fridge if frozen.
- When you’re ready to cook, drain salmon and pat dry if needed. Then rub each piece with a small amount of olive oil and then with Szeged Fish Rub (or your favorite fish rub).
- Put salmon on the air fryer rack and let it come to room temperature while you make the sauce.
- Finely chop green onions and fresh parsley for the sauce.
- Whisk together sour cream, mayo, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, chopped green onion, and dried dill. Taste sauce and adjust Dijon mustard as necessary.
- Set Air Fryer to 400F/200C.
- Cook the fish for 6 minutes, then check for doneness by pressing down on the fish with a finger. It should feel barely firm but not hard when it’s done. Thicker fish might take a minute or two longer to cook.
- Serve the Air Fryer Salmon hot, with Mustard-Herb Sauce on the side.
Notes
- Start with one tablespoon of Dijon mustard in the sauce, then taste to see if you want a bit more.
- Our salmon pieces are quite small, so adjust cooking time accordingly for thicker pieces.
