Looking for a dish that will leave you feeling satisfied and doesn’t take long to make? My Dill Pesto Salmon is exactly what you need. This dish is prepared in under 30 minutes in the air fryer and you can pair it with absolutely anything! With minimal ingredients, it’s a quick fix for a hungry belly. I created it with my homemade pesto sauce which you can find here and if you’re really in the pesto mood it goes nicely with my smashed potatoes recipe which you can find here.
Gather your ingredients so you can create a dish that’s not only mouth-wateringly delicious but also packs a punch in terms of health benefits.
This Salmon recipe is a prime example of how high-quality ingredients can elevate a dish. I always recommend getting to know your local fishmonger – trust me, it pays off! For this recipe, aim for a thick cut of salmon to create a generous pocket for the dill pesto, ensuring each bite is as flavorful as possible. There’s something magical about this beautiful fish that always draws me back into the kitchen. I adore its versatility, whether I’m grilling, baking, or tossing it into an air fryer, salmon always turns out wonderfully.
Who wants to make a big messy meal in the middle of a busy work week? Not me! This is why I love meal prepping and LOVE my air fryer. The two sort of go hand in hand. During the week I typically like to cook a meal that will last me for another two meals minimum; which is why this salmon dish is so perfect. Being able to throw a few pieces into the air fryer and store them in the fridge for a few future meals makes my life easier and if you’ve been here for a while you will know that I put everything in my air fryer. From breakfast to dessert there is something we can enjoy from an air fryer! If you don’t have one I HIGHLY recommend checking out this one by Ninja.
Don’t forget to make your own dill pesto with my recipe here and make this salmon dish. Whether it’s a dinner party or just looking for a satisfying yet straightforward meal, this Dill Pesto Salmon is sure to delight. It’s fancy enough for special occasions but easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Serve it with smashed potatoes, or your favourite greens, and you’ve got a meal that’s sure to leave everyone at the table asking for seconds!
