One Comment on “Air Fryer Spicy Garlic Dijon Salmon”
Really enjoyed this recipe! So simple, and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I threw the salmon in the marinade about 40 minutes before cooking and I loved the flavor. Couldn’t find the pepper in my LGS so I just added a little Sriracha (maybe not enough this time). Very happy with the results!
