Ok, pasta lovers, you need this lentil pasta recipe in your winter rotation! It’s budget-friendly, easy to make, and comforting in the way that only pasta with red sauce can be.

Rather, it’s something I love to cook when I want a hearty, flavorful pasta dinner, but I don’t want to go to the store or spend hours in the kitchen. This lentil pasta recipe comes together with basic pantry ingredients, and you can have it on the […]

Homemade tomato soup is like a hug in a bowl, which, when the weather is as gray as it has been here lately, is exactly what I need. This tomato soup recipe is a cold weather staple in our house. It couldn’t be simpler to make, and the ingredients are largely pantry basics that I always keep on hand. But more importantly, this tomato soup is creamy, comforting, and full of rich flavor. The tomatoes make it tangy, balsamic vinegar adds sweetness, and red pepper flakes give it a warming kick of heat. You could serve it on its own, […]

If you’re wondering how to make a grilled cheese sandwich, Jack’s your guy. He makes one so often that we have a dedicated grilled cheese pan in our kitchen. It’s seen a million grilled cheese experiments in its day–mayo on the bread, or softened butter? American cheese or Swiss?–all of which have helped him work out what, in our opinion, is THE BEST grilled cheese recipe. It’s incredibly simple, but it yields an undeniably crave-able sandwich. This grilled cheese is crisp and golden on the outside and deliciously melty in the middle (see that cheese pull up there?!). Tomato soup […]

This is the time of year in the Midwest when we all just want winter to be over. Unfortunately, we still have at least a couple more months to go.

My solution when I can’t stand the gray winter days any more is to make lots of comfort food dinners. Things like crockpot Mississippi pot roast, homemade sloppy joes, chicken and wild rice soup, and spaghetti and meatballs.

There are so many ways to make and cook meatballs, and one of my favorites is to cook them in the air fryer. Air fryer meatballs are crisp on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, and so versatile to use!

Air Fryer Salmon is one of the easiest and most satisfying weeknight dishes I’ve made in a long time. It takes under 20 minutes to prepare and is always a hit! I love the super simple, whole grain honey mustard topping. Our recipe only requires a small handful of ingredients and result in a delicious meal every time!

Baking Alternative for Our Air Fryer Salmon Recipe

Our recipe can easily be made in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Simply set your oven to 375˚F and roast for 12 to 15 minutes (depending on desired doneness), on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

Air fryer salmon can be stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, preheat air fryer to 375˚F and air fry salmon fillets for 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through. Alternatively, preheat oven to 350˚F. Place salmon fillets into baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, until heated through.

Tips and Tricks for Success

  • Buy fillets that have about the same thickness for even cooking.
  • Pat the fillets with paper towels to dry. This will help to prevent the salmon from steaming, which would turn the fillets mushy instead of flaky.
  • Be generous with the honey mustard spread so a delicious crust can formed on top of each piece of fish.

Why We Love Air Fryer Salmon

  • Using an air fryer, not only creates a nice, browning crust on the salmon, but it also helps to lock in the juices, resulting in some of the best tasting salmon.
  • It’s keeps things much less messy. There’s no need to worry about spattering oil from the stovetop.
  • It reheats exceptionally well and doesn’t seem to dry out as easily.

If you’re used to topping your morning oats with nut butter and fresh fruit, the concept of savory oatmeal might sound strange. But give it a chance, and I think you’ll be surprised.

These hearty toppings make this savory oatmeal recipe a satisfying and nutritious breakfast, and they also carry oats beyond the breakfast zone, transforming them into a delicious option for a quick dinner or lunch.
