Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 salmon filets, about 5 ounces each
- 4 fresh mint leaves, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise, this is the brand I used
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, about half a lemon
- olive oil cooking spray
- all-purpose seasoning or pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400ºF and spray the basket with olive oil.
- Season the salmon with all purpose seasoning or pepper to taste. I used the every day seasoning from Trader Joe's.
- Combine mayonnaise with mint, dill, and lemon juice in a small bowl, then spoon a generous amount over each salmon filet. Top each filet with a heaping portion of chopped pistachios. I like to put the salmon in the air fryer before dressing it with the mayo mixture to save on cleanup and so I don't have to worry about messing it up when trying to put it in the basket.
- Lightly spray the salmon with olive oil and air fry the filets for 6 minutes. If you're using a larger piece of salmon, air fry it for additional time in 1 minute increments. Remember, air fryers cook things quickly!
- Using a small spatula, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and plate. Garnish with fresh dill if desired.
Notes
*If using an oven, preheat to 425ºF and bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
