TIPS TO REMEMBER BEFORE COOKING TANDOORI SALMON IN AIR FRYER
- Marination paste can be made ahead and chilled. Rub it on the fillet 15 minutes before cooking.
- Lime or lemon tends to denature the protein in fish when fish is marinated for longer.
- Standard salmon fillet takes about 8 to 10 minutes to cook. According to the thickness of the fillet, time varies.
- Wash under cold water and allow to drain. Pat dry with a kitchen towel before marinating.
- Don’t over rub marinate on fish, for a glossy glaze and the best flavors.
HOW TO COOK TANDOORI SALMON IN AIR FRYER
- Mix all ingredients to make a paste except melted butter. Next, rub the marinade over the salmon fillet and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Remove excess marination before placing salmon in an air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer to 392 F for 5 minutes.
- Place the fillets in an air fryer without overcrowding the basket. Cook for 4 minutes then brush it with melted butter. Flip to the other side and cook for another 4-6 minutes.
