Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets salmon 6 to 8 oz each, skin-on
  • 1 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary or Italian herbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • lemon wedges to serve

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Toss the potatoes with half the oil, herbs, garlic powder, and salt. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and cook 12 minutes, shaking twice.
  2. Pat the fillets dry and rub with the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the fillets skin-side down among the potatoes and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, until the salmon flakes and the potatoes are crisp.
  4. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Halve the potatoes and start them cut-side down for the best crust.
Potatoes need the full head start — they run about 20 minutes total.
