Gather all Ingredients
To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Salmon is a popular and versatile fish known for its distinctive flavor and nutritional benefits. It has an excellent source of protein, healthy fats including omega-3 fatty acids, and several essential vitamins and minerals: The Health Benefits of Salmon.
- Harissa sauce is a chili, typically made of dry red chillies, garlic, citrus, extra virgin olive oil and a few warm spices including cumin, coriander and caraway seeds. My favorite Harissa sauce is the Mina Mild Harissa Sauce.
- Salt and cilantro.
How to make this Recipe:
- Prepare salmon
Line the air fryer basket with a thin layer of parchment paper, foil, or an air fryer liner. Place the fish, side skin down, in the basket and with some gap between the fillets. Season with salt. Place two tablespoons of the harissa sauce on each of the salmon.
- Air fry
Air fry at 400F for 8 to 10 minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fish and your appliance.
- Enjoy
Once your salmon is cooked, remove from the air fryer and serve.
