About This Recipe
I'm obsessed with this Air Fryer Basil-Parmesan Salmon recipe! Making salmon in the air fryer is quick and easy, and the fish comes out so juicy inside.
Ingredients
- olive oil spray
- 4 salmon fillets, skin removed (about 5 ounce each )
- 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (I like Sir Kensington)
- 6 fresh basil leaves (minced, plus more for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400F. Spritz the basket with olive oil.
- Season the salmon with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Mix the mayonnaise with basil and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
- Spread completely over the top of salmon. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- In batches, air fry 7 minutes, or longer depending on thickness of the salmon.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Spritz a sheet pan with olive oil.
- Season the salmon with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Mix the mayonnaise with basil and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
- Spread completely over the top of salmon. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon.
