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.

How to make Air Fryer Everything Bagel Salmon

2. Next, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the salmon.
3. Transfer the salmon filets to the air fryer basket.
4. Cook at 400F for 8 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer at the thickest point of the salmon. It should reach 145F when the salmon is fully cooked.

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.
