Air Fryer Everything Bagel Salmon

Looking for a delicious and flavorful way to enjoy salmon? Try making this everything bagel salmon recipe!

This easy salmon recipe combines the rich and savory flavors of salmon with the bold and delicious seasoning of everything bagel seasoning.

Making salmon in the air fryer comes out perfectly flaky every single time. You won't want to make salmon any other way.

This dish combines the flavors of a classic everything bagel with the heart-healthy benefits of salmon. The Everything Bagel Seasoning, which typically includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt, is sprinkled on top of the salmon fillets before they are air fried to perfection. The result is a crispy, flavorful crust on top of tender, flaky salmon.

Not only is this salmon dish delicious, but it is also a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. With the added bonus of being cooked in an air fryer, this dish is a win-win for both taste and nutrition.

Choosing the Right Salmon

When preparing this air fryer everything bagel salmon, it is important to choose the right type of salmon. There are a few things to consider when selecting the perfect piece of fish.

Fresh vs. Frozen

One of the first things to consider when choosing salmon is whether to go with fresh or frozen salmon. Fresh salmon is typically more expensive, but it is often considered to have a better flavor and texture.

Fresh salmon can spoil quickly, so using it within a few days of purchasing is important. Frozen salmon, on the other hand, is often more readily available and less expensive.

It can also be stored for longer periods of time, making it a convenient option for meal planning. Learn more about How to Store Salmon.

Wild vs. Farmed

Another important consideration when choosing salmon is whether to go with wild or farmed. Wild salmon is caught in its natural environment and is often considered to have a richer flavor and more vibrant color. It is also typically more expensive than farmed salmon.

Farmed salmon, on the other hand, is raised on fish farms and is often more readily available and less expensive than wild salmon. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of fish farming and the use of antibiotics and other chemicals in the production process.

When choosing between wild and farmed salmon, it is important to consider your personal preferences, and budget, as well as any health or environmental concerns you may have.

Tips & Tricks

Make sure that you do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. You may also need to add 1-2 minutes more to the air fryer, depending on the thickness of your salmon.

Tools to make this easy recipe

The Air Fryer is a great air fryer because of the big basket. It’s perfect for a variety of recipes. You'll also need a meat thermometer to make sure that the salmon is fully cooked. Remove the salmon when it reaches an internal temperature of 145F.

Health Benefits of Salmon

Salmon is a nutrient-dense fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. Here are some of the health benefits for consuming salmon:

  1. Promotes heart health: The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon can help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease.
  2. Boosts brain function: The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are also beneficial for brain health and have been linked to improved cognitive function, memory, and mood.
  3. Supports bone health: Salmon is a good source of vitamin D, which is important for bone health and can help prevent osteoporosis.
  4. Reduces inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids in salmon may help reduce inflammation in the body.

Oven Directions

If you don't have an Air Fryer, you can also make this everything bagel salmon in your oven.

Preheat oven to 400F. Place the salmon into a baking dish. Then sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the salmon.

Next, cook the salmon for 12-14 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.

Substitutions

What to serve with Air Fryer Everything Bagel Salmon

Everything bagel salmon is a deliciously flaky and flavorful dish that can be served with a variety of sides. I made these Air Fryer Radishes to serve with the salmon. This Mashed Cauliflower or Sautéed Cast Iron Brussels Sprouts with Bacon are also great options.

How to store

Store any leftover salmon in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. Learn more about How to Store Salmon in this blog post.

How to reheat

Reheat the leftover salmon in the microwave for the quickest results. Remove the lid of the airtight storage container or transfer it to a plate and cook for 1.5-2 minutes. You can also reheat the salmon in the air fryer. Simply cook it for 2-3 minutes at 400F.
