- Faster cooking times
Tips
- Peel potatoes that are around 5cm or if you have larger ones just cut them into equal chunks.
- No preheat is required for the potatoes but a couple of minutes will assure that your potatoes be crunchier. However, it is important that before you cook the salmon the air fryer is preheated.
- Cooking the potatoes before the salmon is a must if your air fryer is too small. This also gives you time to preheat the air fryer for the salmon and lets you set different temperatures for the salmon and the potatoes.
- In the airfryer basket, toss the potatoes, the spices, and the oil. Make sure to coat all the potatoes with oil and spices.
- Pat the surface of the salmon dry with paper towels to help the seasonings stick to the salmon.
Serving Suggestions
- The air-fried potatoes are a perfect side with the maply dijon glazed salmon.
- Other sides that go particularly well with salmon are steamed asparagus and broccoli. Another option is replacing the potatoes with rice.

Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 1/2 kg potatoes medium
- 1 bulb garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp paprika sweet (optional)
- 1/2 bunch sage fresh (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (medium)
- 1-2 tsp dijon mustard paste
- 2 tbsp greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
Start with the Potatoes

- In the airfryer basket, toss the potatoes, the spices, and the oil.
- Make sure to coat all the potatoes with oil and spices.
- Roast at 380°F (195°C) for 10 minutes
- Flip the potatoes, and roast for 10 more minutes.
- Check that the potatoes are fork-tender and crispy on the outside.
In the meantime prepare the salmon
- Place the fillets skin-side down on a sheet of parchment paper. Cut the parchment paper a little smaller than the size of the basket and leave long sides to lift the salmon.
- Use a pastry brush to spread the maple syrup, dijon mustard and greek yogurt mix. Sprinkle some pepper if you like.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, or until cooked through. Cooking time depends on the size and thickness of the fillets. Remove the salmon from the basket immediately or it will continue to cook.
- Garnish with the parsley, serve with the potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes: Cooking the potatoes before the salmon is a must if your air fryer is too small. This also gives you time to preheat the air fryer for the salmon and lets you set different temperatures for the salmon and the potatoes.
FAQs
Can you fry salmon in an air fryer
Air-fried salmon is a very great healthy option to pan-fried and oven-baked salmon. However, the result will be more like it is oven-baked rather than pan-fried.
Can you freeze airfried salmon?
Yes, you can freeze air-fried salmon but when reheated the salmon would not taste as fresh and soft as when you cook it the first time.
Can you cook airfry salmon straight from frozen?
Yes, since an air fryer is particularly suited for cooking frozen food.
