Notes

  • Wild-caught salmon is best. If using frozen salmon, be sure to thaw properly in the fridge.
  • Easily cut the salmon into individual portions instead of using a whole filet.
  • If you do not have access to an air fryer, easily bake, broil, grill or pan sear the salmon.
  • Be sure to remove the thickened cream sauce from the heat prior to incorporating the lemon juice and fresh parsley.
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
