This air fryer salmon recipe comes from a new book by my friend Gina Homolka: Skinnytaste Air Fryer Dinners- 75 Healthy Recipes for Easy Weeknight Meals. If you have an air fryer, then this book is for you. I love what I’m seeing in this book for healthy dinner choices. And if you don’t have an air fryer, you must pick one up! I like the Cosori Air Fryer. It’s a little big larger than most. And it works great!

Here are a few recipes in the book that you might like to try in your air fryer:

  • Veggie-Loaded Stromboli
  • Cheesy Calzones
  • Swedish Turkey Meatballs
  • Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders
  • Cheeseburger Loaded Fries
  • Tzatziki Fish Tacos
  • Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
  • Eggplant Fries
  • Golden Breaded Cauliflower

Honestly, everything in this book looks fabulous. It’s hard to choose my favorites!
