Notes
- Do not throw away the melted butter that drips at the bottom of the air fryer drawer, it's packed with rich garlic and herb flavours, and it can be served as a sauce with the fillets. It also keeps the fish juicy and moist.
- I served these salmon fillets with air fryer asparagus and tomatoes, I used the separate air fryer drawer I have to cook them. Just drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, season with salt, and cook for the same amount of it as the fish.
