Easy Air Fryer Salmon
I originally made this air fryer salmon for a salmon melt sandwich, then made it again and served it with a fresh salad. It turned out to be one of those simple recipes that works in more than one meal.

Lackie's Notes
I love recipes like this because I can cook the salmon once and use it in completely different ways. I've had it with salad and used it for a salmon melt sandwich, and both worked beautifully.
