Servings: 4
Calories: 384kcal
Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 6 fresh basil, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 and spray the basket with olive oil.
- Combine the mayonnaise with basil, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika in a small bowl, then spoon a generous amount over each salmon filet. Top each filet with a heaping portion of panko breadcrumbs.I like to put the salmon in the air fryer before dressing it with the mayo mixture to save on cleanup and so I don't have to worry about messing it up when trying to put it in the basket.
- Lightly spritz the panko crusted salmon with olive oil and air fry for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 145F. If you're using a larger piece of salmon, air fry it for additional time in 1-2 minute increments. Remember, air fryers cook things quickly!
- Using a small spatula, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
