How to Make Air Fryer Almond Crusted Salmon

Air Fryer Salmon

Step 1

Preheat air fryer to 400°. Wash and pat salmon dry.
Step 2

In a small bowl, combine almonds, oil, oregano, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper.
Step 3

Spray the salmon with non-stick cooking spray. Air fry the salmon for 8 minutes. Top the salmon with the almond mixture and air fry for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for at least 5 minutes at room temperature.

Salad

Step 1

While the salmon cooks, make the salad. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and black pepper to make the dressing. Add the frisée, green beans and cranberries to a medium mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the frisée mixture and toss to combine.
Step 2

Serve the salmon with the salad. Drizzle salmon with additional fresh lemon juice, if desired.
