Air Fryer Pink Salmon Salad

★★★★★ 5/5

Are you looking for a healthy and delicious meal that’s easy to prepare? Look no further than air fryer salmon salad! Air frying is a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods, and it’s perfect for cooking salmon to a crisp, golden finish while keeping it juicy and tender. Paired with fresh greens and a zesty dressing, air fryer salmon salad is a satisfying and nutritious meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. This recipe was created around the new PINK Sauce that was released nationwide in every Walmart!

Making a GOod air fryer Salmon Salad!

Choose fresh salmon: Fresh salmon is key to making a delicious air fryer salmon salad. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright pink or orange color. I went with a Pink Salmon – found in the Pacific. However, an Atlantic Salmon will work just as well.
Season the salmon: Before cooking the salmon in the air fryer, season it with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you prefer, such as garlic powder, paprika, or lemon zest.
Use a non-stick basket: To prevent the salmon from sticking to the basket of the air fryer, use a non-stick basket or spray the basket with cooking spray.
Cook at the right temperature: Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Let the salmon cool: Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before adding it to the salad. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting and ensure that the salmon stays moist and tender.
Choose fresh fruits and vegetables: Use fresh, crisp vegetables like cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, onions, and bell peppers to add color and flavor to the salad.

Shoutout to @Chef.Pii and the good people at @davesgourmetllc for sending me a PINK Sauce care package! #Ad I created the ultimate Pink Salmon Salad w/PINK Sauce. This was my first time trying it and it was good! I’d say it tastes like creamy balsamic dressing with a kick. This salad was pretty simple to make.
