Helpful Tips

- Be careful when taking the fish out of the air fryer so they don’t break apart.
- Garnish with spring onions, Sesame seeds, or parsley to make them even more appealing.

Mashed potatoes
Turmeric rice
Storage and Reheating
Let the salmon cool down completely, put them in an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Chilled or frozen fillets can be reheated in the air fryer at 160C/320F for 4 minutes or until warmed.
