The air fryer cooks salmon to perfection, giving it a slight crust on the outside while keeping the interior moist — all in 8 minutes or less. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the salmon at 400°F (200ºC) for about 10 minutes. This recipe serves two. If you’d like to double it, be careful to not overcrowd the air fryer and cook the fish in two batches.
Between the antioxidants in the berries and the omega-3’s in the salmon, this meal packs an anti-inflammatory powerhouse that benefits your heart.
