1. Preheat your air fryer while you open and drain a can of salmon.
If you want a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal, look no further than air fryer canned salmon bowls! This dish only requires a few simple ingredients and can be on your table in less than 30 minutes. To start, preheat your air fryer while you open and drain a can of salmon. I like to use wild-caught salmon because it is lower in mercury and higher in omega-3 fatty acids, but any type of canned salmon will work. Once the salmon is drained, place it in a bowl and add your favorite spices. I like to use a combination of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt, but you can use any spices you like. Give the salmon a good mix so that the spices are evenly distributed. Next, add some chopped veggies to the bowl. I like to use a mix of bell peppers and red onion, but you can really use any veggies you have on hand. Again, mix everything together so that the salmon and veggies are evenly coated with the spices. Now it’s time to cook! Place the salmon and veggies in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. I like to serve my air fryer canned salmon bowls with a dollop of plain yogurt or tzatziki and a sprinkle of fresh dill, but you can really top them with anything you like. Enjoy!
2. Mix together some spices to coat the salmon.
There are many different spices that can be used to coat salmon, so feel free to experiment and find a mixture that you like best. A simple mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is always a good place to start. If you want to add a little bit of heat, you can also add in some cayenne pepper or chili powder. Once you have your spices mixed together, coat the salmon fillets evenly and then place them in the air fryer.
3. Cut up some vegetables for your bowl – we like sweet potatoes, broccoli, and onions.
When it comes to air fryer canned salmon bowls, one of the best things you can do is to add in some vegetables. This will help to round out the meal and make it even more filling and satisfying. Plus, vegetables are packed with nutrients that are essential for good health. Some of our favourite vegetables to add to our air fryer canned salmon bowls include sweet potatoes, broccoli and onions. Sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates and fibre, both of which are important for keeping you feeling full. Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, as well as being a good source of fibre. And onions add a lovely flavour to the bowl, as well as being a good source of antioxidants. To cook the vegetables, simply chop them into bite-sized pieces and then add them to the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through. Then, add them to your bowl along with the canned salmon and enjoy!
4. Toss the vegetables with a little olive oil and sea salt.
Tossing the vegetables with a little olive oil and sea salt is a great way to add flavor and to help them cook evenly. Be sure to use a light hand when adding the oil so that the vegetables don’t end up greasy. Also, make sure the salt is evenly distributed so that some bites aren’t too salty.
5. Spread everything out in your air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes.
Once you’ve gathered all of your ingredients, it’s time to start cooking! Spread everything out in your air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on things and give everything a stir halfway through to ensure even cooking. When everything is looking nice and crispy, it’s time to eat! Serve everything up in bowls and enjoy.
6. While the vegetables are cooking, make a quick dressing or sauce.
Once the vegetables are cooked, it’s time to make a dressing or sauce to top them off. For a quick and easy dressing, mix together some olive oil, vinegar, and spices. If you’re feeling a bit more ambitious, you could also whip up a homemade sauce like a salsa, chimichurri, or pesto. Just remember to keep it simple so that the flavors of the vegetables can shine through.
7. Serve the salmon and vegetables in bowls, and top with your sauce. Yum!
Assuming you would like a section discussing how to prepare the salmon and vegetables: After you have prepared the salmon and vegetables according to the recipe, it is time to serve everything in bowls and top with the sauce.
