Keto Air Fryer Salmon

If you are in a pinch, the air fryer is a great way to cook salmon quickly with minimal cleanup. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be adapted to all kinds of seasonings and glazes. The fish only needs to be dried off with a paper towel, seasoned, and then placed into the air fryer. Pair this dish with cauliflower rice or a nice Keto side recipe like a salad.

What other kinds of seasoning could I use?

You can use a classic lemon pepper seasoning, a fun Asian-style glaze made with gochujang, or a French-style butter and parsley mixture. The possibilities are endless!

What kind of salmon should I use?

Feel free to use frozen salmon that has been thawed that is skin-on or skin-off.
