Air Fryer BBQ Salmon and Potatoes
I have an easy, complete meal made in the air fryer with just a few ingredients… this recipe for Air Fryer BBQ Salmon and Potatoes is simple but SOOOO delicious!
It’s perfect for beginners (or seasoned air fryer pros 😉 ), and on the healthy side too!
Complicated is overrated, sometimes it’s the simplest recipes that are the BEST!
How to make Air Fryer BBQ Salmon and Potatoes
First cut about 3/4 pound petite size gold potatoes into fourths and put them in a bowl.
Drizzle some olive oil and season with kosher salt, pepper, BBQ seasoning, and either minced garlic or garlic powder.
I bought a 1 1/2 bag of these potatoes, using half for this recipe and the other half on another day.
Toss the potatoes and then put them in the air fryer.
Set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes.
This would be considered “Round 1” of cooking because the potatoes take longer than the salmon.
While the potatoes are cooking, season 1 or 2 salmon fillets with more olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, BBQ seasoning, and garlic or garlic powder.
This was one large fillet, but if they are smaller you may need two (since this meal feeds two).
Scoot the potatoes to one side of the air fryer to make room for the seasoned salmon.
Or, if your air fryer is smaller just put the salmon right on top of the taters.
Set the air fryer to 400 degrees again for another 10 to 12 minutes.
Air Fryer BBQ Salmon and Potatoes is one gorgeous dinner for two!
Serve with BBQ sauce if desired.
My son mixed ranch with BBQ sauce for his dipping pleasure and it was pretty darn good, but not needed.
I had to garnish with some parsley, but that is certainly not needed unless you are really trying to impress someone 😉
