Notes

Salmon is an amazing choice for a heart-healthy, low-calorie meal that is full of flavor and easy to prepare.

You’ll love the ease of cooking it in the air fryer.  However, if you prefer, you can bake it on a parchment-lined sheet pan in the oven.

Salmon’s health benefits are amazing!  It is great for the heart, brain, decreasing inflammation, and full of vitamins like B12, selenium, niacin, and more.

Serve with wild rice and cooked green beans for a tasty dinner or throw it on top of your favorite salad for a one-dish meal.
