FAQs
Can I use frozen salmon?
Even though fresh salmon is always best, you can use frozen salmon. Salmon is a versatile fish that can be cooked in many different ways, including being baked, grilled, or even smoked. When cooking with frozen salmon, make sure to thaw it first so that it cooks evenly.
Why do I have to pat dry the salmon?
Patting the salmon dry helps to remove any excess moisture from the surface of the fish. This helps to prevent the salmon from sticking to the air fryer during cooking, and also helps to create a crispier skin.
Why do I have to use warm water in this recipe?
The warm water helps break down the honey and will help it blend with the other ingredients.
What should the internal temperature be for salmon?
To make sure the salmon is cooked, the internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the temperature that is considered safe to eat by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Is salmon high in protein?
Yes, salmon is high in protein. In fact, a 6-ounce serving of salmon contains about 40 grams of protein. That’s about two-thirds of the daily recommended intake for protein for most adults. Salmon is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health.
Do I have to flip the salmon in the air fryer?
