Air Fried Almond Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
3 pieces of Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon (1/2 pound each)
*Pesto Marinade (you can also buy your pesto but I usually have the ingredients on hand for my homemade dressings)
Ground Almonds
Salt & Pepper
I am able to get my wild caught salmon at Whole Foods. You want to look “WILD CAUGHT” NOT Farm-Raised. I buy mine frozen and thaw in a glass bowl of cold water in the morning for prepping around 5 o’clock.
Pesto Marinade:
Blend 1/2 cup preferred oil (avocado or olive)
10 fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup of pine nuts
1 clove of garlic (I use a garlic press)
Juice from 1 lemon
*Can add distilled water to thin if needed
*Blend on high in Blender
Place fish in glass bowl and soak in the marinade mixture. Leave up until an hour.
My air fryer can hold 3 pieces of fish at a time. I have the GoUSA Air Fryer and love it. It takes 20 minutes to cook the fish to the flakiness that I enjoy. I am amazed at how the house doesn’t smell like fish!
Sprinkle ground almonds on top of each piece and select the FISH option (20 minutes) on Air Fryer.
Enjoy!
