Hi, I do not have an air fryer, is there any way to do the Salmom in a pan?
absolutely! sear it with a little oil on each side until cooked
Delicious and easy to make! Will definitely make it again, loved having it for lunch 🙂
Hi Debbie! So glad you enjoyed 🙂
Such a great recipe! I quick pickled my cucumbers with rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and a couple dashes of sesame oil. Added roasted broccoli for some more veg! Love your Instagram!
Soooooo happy you think so! So grateful for you

So easy and tasty, we have made this twice this week. Nutritious, filling, and a reason to use the air fryer – what’s not to love! Added chopped red onion for more veggies. Thanks for the recipe!
