How to Make Easy, Parmesan Caesar Salmon in Your Air Fryer (Diabetic Friendly)

This easy salmon makes a great, simple main dish and cooks in 10-15 minutes in the air fryer. The recipe includes plenty of Parmesan cheese, as do good Caesar salads, and panko bread crumbs lend a nice crunchiness to the topping. The fish comes out of the air fryer moist and delicious and makes a nice meal when served atop a simple romaine salad or alongside a green vegetable--like sauteed spinach--for a low carbohydrate meal. Salmon is one of the most nutritious main dishes around, is loaded in beneficial Omega-3s, and is a great choice for diabetics and anyone else wanting to "eat healthy." It's also really tasty. Enjoy!

How to Make Easy, Parmesan Caesar Salmon in Your Air Fryer (Diabetic Friendly)

Air Fryer Parmesan Caesar Salmon -- serves 2

2 salmon pieces, 4-6 ounces each

1 1/2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise

1 1/2 tablespoons of non-fat Greek yogurt

1/4 teaspoon of lemon-pepper seasoning

1/4 teaspoon of onion powder

1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons of seasoned panko breadcrumbs (preferably whole-wheat)

Fold a sheet of aluminum foil into a 6-7-inch square or rectangle so it just fits in the bottom and a little up the sides of your air fryer. Coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Place the pieces side-by-side on the foil (which should be inside your air fryer basket now) with about an inch separating them. Sprinkle the fish with a little lemon pepper and then spritz the pieces with non-stick cooking spray. Let the fish sit a few minutes while you prepare the topping. In a small bowl, blend well the mayonnaise, yogurt, remainder of lemon pepper, onion power and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Divide the mixture between the two pieces of fish, coating the tops and sides of the fish. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan on top of the fish and then sprinkle on the panko. Spritz the panko-topped fish with non-stick cooking spray. Set the air fryer temperature to 400, put the basket into the air fryer and cook the salmon for 10-15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Lift the fish out of the air fryer by inserting a spatula under the foil and grasping the edges of the foil to lift both foil and fish at once. Let the fish cool a few minutes before serving it.
