Ingredients
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets with skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup diced artichoke hearts
  • 3 tablespoons chardonnay
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, then season generously with garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve that desirable crispy exterior.
  3. Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  4. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy whipping cream, diced artichoke hearts, chardonnay, and butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is heated through. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir to combine.
  5. Once the salmon is done, carefully remove it from the air fryer. Plate the salmon and drizzle the warm chardonnay butter sauce over the top. Garnish with finely chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
  • Freeze cooked salmon tightly wrapped for later use.
