Easy Air Fryer Pesto Salmon
Wanna know a secret? I use to hate seafood. Pre-marriage I wouldn’t touch the stuff. But once I got married the hubbie slowly walked me into the wonderful world of seafood. And I gotta say, I’m not mad about it.
我最喜欢做的事情之一是鲑鱼。仅营养成分对您来说非常有用。鲑鱼含有高度的omega-3脂肪酸，这是蛋白质的重要来源，维生素B中的含量很高。它也非常美味且非常多功能，因为您可以随心所欲地改变风味。我家庭最喜欢的版本之一是Honey Mustard Baked Salmon。
今天，我们将以新鲜的充满活力的方式真正使鲑鱼亮起basil pesto。这是严重的虚幻！
这款炸锅香蒜酱鲑鱼的成分
This recipe comes together so fast! I make my own homemade pesto for, but if you want to shorten the ingredient list you could definitely buy a store bought pesto. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- Salmon– You can buy pre-portioned filets or cut them yourself. Just make sure you buy skin on.
- Basil– Fresh is best. Dry basil is not an option here.
- Pecans– I know typically pesto is made with pine nuts. But I’m not a huge pine nut fan and I really like the texture and flavor pecans add to pesto.
- Lemon Zest– Fresh lemon zest brightens up the flavors in this pesto.
- Olive Oil– A good cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is key here.
- Garlic– You can’t have pesto without garlic! Just one clove will do.
- Parmesan Cheese– Grated Parmesan Cheese gives this pesto the saltiness it needs. Make sure you fold it in at the end, don’t add it to the blender.
- 香料– You don’t need alot, just a simple salt and pepper will do.

Alot of pesto salmon recipes out there have you put the pesto on while the salmon is baking or cooking. I like to add it at the end because the color stays a vibrant green and the flavor it fresh too! Here’s how to make air fryer pesto salmon.
- Make Pesto:To a food processor add basil, pecans, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Blend until basil is roughly chopped up. Slowly add the olive oil till smooth. Once completely blended, pour mixture into a bowl and stir in the parmesan cheese.Set aside.
- Prep Air Fryer:将炸锅加热至400°F，并预热2-3分钟。
- 季节：Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Brush avocado oil on flesh side of salmon, season with salt and pepper.
- Air Fry the Salmon:使用钳子，将鲑鱼皮面放在空气炸篮中，然后炸9-10分钟（取决于鲑鱼的厚度）Check for desired doneness. The best way to do this is to gently flake the salmon with a fork.
- Top with Pesto:Remove salmon from air fryer and top with pesto.
Can I baked this in the oven?
Yes, you can absolutely make this in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Or don’t want to use the air fryer. To make in the oven, heat oven to 400°F. Place season salmon on a tin foil lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and top with pesto.
Why you’ll love this salmon
- Benefits of Salmon- 鲑鱼的健康益处足以单独做到这一点。
- Air Fryer Goodness– I don’t know what it is but makingsalmon in the air fryer认真对待我的最爱！炸锅在顶部为鲑鱼提供了美丽的外壳，并添加了一种质地，这会让您更爱上鲑鱼。相信我。我的孩子们现在要求它！
- Super Quick & Easy- 作为妈妈，我通常会在晚餐时间在我的腿上拖着3岁。我需要一个快速融合在一起的食谱。这个食谱就是这样！而且，如果您使用商店购买的香蒜酱，它将更快地融合在一起！
- 完美的一对– Salmon is more of a “fatty” fish. I don’t like add things like butter or mayo to it because it doesn’t need more fat. The fresh bright pesto cuts through all that fat and livens up the dish. They are two peas in a pod!
香蒜酱鲑鱼的技巧和窍门
- Quality. Quality.首先使用新鲜的可持续鲑鱼。我喜欢从鱼市场上购买我的我，所以我可以选择想要的东西。我总是事先闻到它的气味，以确保它不像鱼闻起来。如果确实如此，请不要购买。不好。
- 不要过分煮。Cook times always vary. The piece I have may be thicker or thinner than the piece you have. So always keep an eye on any protein while you’re cooking it. Salmon should be 140°F-145°F when done. As long as you stay in that range your salmon will come out tender and flaky.
- Best Pesto.In my opinion fresh pesto is best it adds a bright vibrant note that you’re not going to get from store bought. However, if you need an easy button store bought will do.
