Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon skinless, boneless
  • 8-10 zucchini slices
  • 8-10 bell pepper pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried herbs

Instructions

  • Cut the salmon into 1-inch pieces and place them in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, half of the salt, all the paprika, and half of the dried herbs. Gently mix until evenly coated. (Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 5–10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.)
    A bowl of seasoned salmon squares. The squares are about 1 inch thick and are covered in an orange seasoning blend.
  • In a separate bowl, add the zucchini slices and bell pepper pieces. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, then add the rest of the salt and herbs. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
    A bowl full of slices of zucchini and green bell pepper. They have been lightly seasoned.
  • Assemble the skewers by alternating salmon pieces with the vegetables. Place the skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
    Salmon pieces and veggie pieces are arranged on wooden skewers and placed in an air fryer basket, ready to be cooked.
  • Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time (around 4 minutes), carefully flip the skewers to ensure they cook thoroughly on all sides.
    Four cooked air fryer salmon skewers are arranged neatly in a round, black air fryer basket on top of an air fryer liner. The salmon skewers are orange and golden and covered with green seasoning flakes.

Notes

  • This recipe can be made in an air fryer unit with a basket or an air fryer oven. If you are using an air fryer oven, use the middle rack and choose the “Air Fry” function.
  • Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Make sure to check your food as it’s cooking to learn your air fryer better and avoid over- or undercooking.
