Easy Salmon in Air-Fryer (low FODMAP)
Easy low FODMAP Salmon in the Air-Fryer recipe that you can make with only 6 ingredients. Perfect for a quick healthy weeknight meal.
Ever since I started doing a low FODMAP diet (you avoid sugars that can ferment in your gut), this easy Air-Fryer Salmon recipe turned out to be my go-to for busy weeknights and at the start of my low FODMAP journey, I made it almost every single day. I absolutely love Salmon. And making them in the Air-Fryer has been a game changer. It's super quick! You don't have to keep an eye on the salmon. You just have to put it in the air-fryer and set the timer.
Plus this super simple Salmon recipe only needs a very few ingredients that I can easily find in my pantry. And it always tastes so delicious.
Garlic-infused oil substitute?
You can use 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1 tsp olive oil instead of garlic-infused olive oil. Since I follow a low FODMAP diet, I cannot have fresh/powdered garlic at the moment. Hence garlic infused oil to add the garlic flavor, which I absolutely love with Salmon. If you don't have a problem with garlic, you can definitely add garlic powder. It'll add more garlic flavor than garlic-infused oil, frankly.
Air-Fryer Cooking Time
Air-fryer cooking time varies depending on the size/thickness of the salmon piece, and the brand or model of the air fryer you use. This is the fourth air-fryer I use in my kitchen and trust me when I say they all performed differently. For me usually 8 - 10 mins is ideal for two 6 oz (170g) salmon pieces. Start with 8 minutes and then check for doneness.
The best way to determine the doneness of Salmon (or any meat/fish) is to insert an instant thermometer and get a reading. For salmon, when you insert the probe into the thickest part of the salmon, and it reads 145F, that means the salmon is perfectly cooked.
Baking Instructions for Salmon
If you don't have an air-fryer, you can certainly bake or pan-fry the Salmon Fillets too. For baking, preheat the oven to 450F. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145F.
What to Serve with this Air-Fryer Salmon?
I love to serve air-fried salmon with a side of lettuce salad or a spring salad and a simple lemon dressing or a creamy dill sauce. (Dill, Mayo, lemon, lactose-free sour cream, and black pepper mixed).
I also love it with roasted broccoli or asparagus, or with roasted vegetables and a side of soup or dinner rolls.
Makes great leftovers to make this everything bagel Salmon dip.
