Air-Fryer Salmon with Mango Salsa

Cooking salmon in the air-fryer is so great! Not only the salmon will cook quickly, it will stay flaky and moist. Top it with fresh mango salsa and you have a perfect tropical feel for a delicious healthy meal!

I love the air-fryer so much, it is such a great tool and my family uses it multiple time a week! It is so convenient! We started cooking salmon in it fairly recently and it was amazing! The house didn't smell like fish, the salmon was perfect and it took less than 10 minutes! When it comes to the mango salsa, it takes this simple salmon dish to the next level!

Air-Fryer Salmon with Mango Salsa Ingredients

This recipe is written for 2 servings. You have the option to double or triple the ingredients sizes in the recipe card at the bottom.

• 2 pieces of salmon. Any kind works, but I usually go for wild sockeye which I get from Butcher Box (affiliate link)
• 1 cup of rice. I use brown but if you prefer white, it works too.
• 1 teaspoon of oil
• a pinch of salt and pepper (more of less to taste)
• oil spray for the air-fryer
• 1 cup of mango salsa (more of less to taste)
• Optional: a squeeze of lemon. There is lime juice on the mango salsa already but I personally like an extra squeeze of lemon on the fish.

For the Mango Salsa

I have the full Mango Salsa recipe here on the blog for extra tips. I also have a video of making it right here on Instagram.

• 1 ripe mango (use 2 if they are small)
• ½ a red onion
• 1 jalapeño (you can use half only too if you prefer)
• Juice of ½ a lime (use a whole if small)
• 1 Roma tomato (I prefer Roma for this recipe as they are not as watery as other kinds of tomatoes)
• 1 handful of fresh cilantro
• a pinch of salt and pepper

Method: Chop everything in small pieces and assemble together! Add the salt, pepper and lime juice and mix. So easy and so delicious! You should have mango salsa leftover.

How To Make Air-Fryer Salmon With Mango Salsa

Step 1 → Prepare the mango salsa, chop everything in small pieces and assemble together! Add the salt, pepper and lime juice and mix. Cook the rice.

Step 2 → Preheat the air-fryer at 400. Pat the salmon down with a paper towel to remove the extra moisture. You can keep the skin on or remove it before cooking per your preference. I find that it will come off easily after being cooked. Add a little oil and salt pepper to the salmon, top and bottom.

Step 3 → Once the air -fryer is hot and ready at 400, spray the bottom quickly with an oil spray. Carefully add the salmon skin down. It will take anywhere from 7 to 11 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Sockeye is often thinner and will cook quicker.

Step 4 → Remove the salmon from the air-fryer. Remove the skin if you wish. serve with a side of rice and top with some mango salsa. Enjoy!
