Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 6-ounce salmon fillets, frozen
- 2 tablespoons caesar dressing (store bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees. Remove frozen salmon from packaging and add to air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes to thaw.
- While salmon is defrosting, combine panko, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Microwave for 30-35 seconds, just until panko begins to sizzle and brown. Remove and stir crumbs. Let them cool for a few minutes, then add grated parmesan and stir. Set aside.
- After 5 minutes, open air fryer and use paper towel to blot the salmon and remove any excess moisture. (Fillets should be thawed around the exterior at this point. If the fish is still frozen, return to air fryer for another 2 minutes.) Sprinkle fillets with salt and brush liberally with Caesar dressing. Sprinkle panko parmesan coating over the top of the salmon and press into the dressing.
- Return to air fryer and cook another 6-8 minutes at 375 until desired doneness. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
Notes
- Pair this Air Fryer Frozen Salmon Recipe with a tossed salad, grilled asparagus, or a creamy lemon ricotta pasta dish for a complete meal. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for a bright finish.
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, use the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness without overcooking.
