Ingredients

Scale

2 fresh salmon fillets (about 3 oz. each)
1/4 – 1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
1 oz. roasted salted pistachios, chopped
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

For the pomegranate avocado salsa:

1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
2 Tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
A sprinkle of salt (to taste)
Optional: 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno (or to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer (or oven) to 400 F. Sprinkle the salmon with salt & freshly ground pepper. Set the salmon in the air fryer leaving space around each piece or on a silicon-lined baking sheet in the oven. Let cook partially (about 3 minutes in the air fryer or 5 minutes in the oven).
Meanwhile, mix together the parmesan, pistachios and seasonings. Coat the tops of both partially cooked salmon fillets with the nutty mixture. Set back in the air fryer/oven to finish cooking. Total cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon, but should be between 7 – 12 minutes in the air fryer or 10 – 20 minutes in the oven. Watch it carefully and remove as soon as the salmon flakes easily with a fork in the thicker portion of the fillet.
While the salmon is cooking, toss together the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Serve the salmon warm with salsa over top.
