Description

This Air Fryer Cilantro Lime Salmon recipe offers a vibrant, flavorful twist on a classic seafood dish. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a crispy exterior and tender interior, the salmon is seasoned with a zesty blend of Goya Sazón con Culantro y Achiote and topped with a fresh cilantro-lime mixture. Quick and easy, this recipe is ideal for a nutritious weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 10 grams Goya Foods Sazón con Culantro y Achiote

Cilantro Lime Topping

  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest (about 1 lime)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Before cooking, bring the salmon fillets to room temperature and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture for better crisping in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the avocado oil and Goya Sazón con Culantro y Achiote seasoning until well blended.
  3. Season the Salmon: Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over each salmon fillet to ensure thorough flavor coverage.
  4. Air Fry the Salmon: Place one salmon fillet skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 11-13 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Repeat the process with the second fillet.
  5. Prepare the Cilantro Lime Sauce: In another small bowl, mix together the chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, and lime zest.
  6. Finish and Serve: Brush or spoon the cilantro-lime mixture evenly over each cooked salmon fillet. Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

Notes

  • Bringing the salmon to room temperature before cooking helps achieve more even cooking.
  • Patting the salmon dry is essential for a crispy skin.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfectly cooked salmon.
  • You can double the recipe if cooking for more people, but cook in batches for best results.
  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Goya Sazón seasoning.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and eaten within 2 days.
