Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets 6 oz each, about 1 inch thick, thawed; pin bones removed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives pitted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta
  • 1 tablespoon red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for about 3 minutes, or follow its preheating instructions. Pat the thawed salmon dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the salmon with oil, oregano and pepper. Place skin-side down in the basket.
  3. Cook for 8–10 minutes, checking at 7 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 145°F and flakes easily. Add 1–2 minutes if necessary; do not rely on color alone.
  4. Toss tomatoes, olives, feta, red onion, parsley and lemon juice in a clean bowl. Spoon over the cooked salmon and serve.

Notes

Equipment: air fryer with room for two fillets, instant-read thermometer.
Serving size: one 6-ounce salmon fillet with half the toppings.
Times assume two 6-ounce fillets in one layer with space between them. If they do not fit, cook in batches and allow extra time. Thickness and air-fryer models affect cooking time; use a thermometer.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days. Reheat to 165°F.
