Cooking Salmon

Preparing Slaw

Notes
Make sure to dry the salmon well for better seasoning adherence. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili powder based on your preference. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes. Leftover slaw makes a tasty side dish for other meals, so don’t hesitate to make extra.
