If you don’t already have an airfyer, I highly recommend asking Santa for one. I love mine and we use it all the time. It’s great and cooks seafood perfectly. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for busy nights. You can prep it all ahead of time and pop it in the airfryer while you whip up a side dish.
Airfried Cajun Salmon
(Adapted from Budget Pantry)
1 piece fresh salmon fillet (about 200g)
Cajun seasoning (just enough to coat)
A light sprinkle of sugar (optional)
Juice from a quarter of lemon, to serve
Preheat your airfryer to 180C. For the Philips airfryer, the orange light will go off to indicate that the temperature has been reached. For other brands, typically just preheat for 5 minutes.
Clean your salmon and pat dry. In a plate, sprinkle Cajun seasoning all over and ensure all sides are coated. You don’t need too much. If you prefer a tad of sweetness, add a light sprinkling of sugar. NO seasoning time required. I airfried direct.
For a salmon fillet about 3/4 of an inch thick, airfry for 7 minutes, skin side up on the grill pan. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon.
