Air Fryer Crunchy Garlic Salmon

with Cheesy Mash and Beans

2 tbs milk

20g butter

2 tbs mayonnaise

olive oil spray

5.3L air fryer (optional)

fine grater

small saucepan

medium saucepan

potato masher

Preheat the air fryer to 200C (see Don't have an air fryer?). Trim the beans. Peel the potatoes and cut into 3cm chunks. Finely grate the parmesan. Combine the breadcrumbs, one-quarter of the parmesan and 1½ tsp pepper and garlic seasoning (see Cooking tip) in a shallow bowl.

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil for the beans. Put the potato in a medium saucepan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 mins or until tender. Drain, then mash the potato until smooth. Add the remaining parmesan, 2 tbs milk and 20g butter, season with salt and pepper and stir until combined.

Meanwhile, spread the skin of the salmon with 2 tsp mayonnaise, then press the salmon, mayo-side down, into the breadcrumb mixture. Generously spray the salmon all over with olive oil and put in the air-fryer basket, crumb-side up. Air-fry the salmon for 7-9 mins until the crumbs are golden and the salmon is just cooked or cooked to your liking.

Add the beans to the pan of boiling water and cook for 2-3 mins until tender. Drain. Combine 1½ tsp pepper and garlic seasoning and 1½ tbs mayonnaise in a bowl.

Divide the salmon, cheesy mash and beans among plates, spoon over the mayo mixture and enjoy!

No worries, you can cook the salmon in the oven. Preheat the oven to 200C, fan-forced, and cook the salmon for 8-10 mins until golden and just cooked or cooked to your liking.
