Air Fryer Salmon Sandwich

This air fryer salmon sandwich easy to make at home, and due to the air fryer, healthier too. My daughter Karina loves fish sandwiches with my lemon-caper mayo, so when the one fish I had in my freezer was salmon, we decided to make it for dinner. We loved it! I don’t typically order fish sandwiches because they’re often deep fried. But this salmon sandwich is definitely one I’d order out.

You need to use fresh or frozen salmon for this recipe. Should you use frozen, thaw it first. To prep the salmon, cut it into 4 pieces, pat it dry, and season it with salt. Then coat it in egg white and seasoned panko with a bit more salt. The panko gets so crispy within the air fryer with little or no oil.

How long do I cook salmon within the air fryer?

Air frying salmon is fast. First, spray the basket with oil and lay the fish in a single layer. Spray the tops of the salmon with oil and air fry it at 400° Fahrenheit for eight minutes. Turn the fish over halfway through and cook it until it’s golden and crisp.

Salmon Sandwich Sauce

I top this crispy air fryer salmon sandwich with lemon-caper mayo and lettuce. The sauce is just so simple as it sounds. All you do is mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, and capers and refrigerate it until you’re able to eat. You need to use tartar sauce if you must make this faster.

Lemon-Caper Mayo:

• 6 tbsp mayonnaise, I like Sir Kensington
• 2 tablespoons drained capers, minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

For the Fish:

• 16 ounces skinless salmon fillet, if frozen thawed, cut in 4 pieces
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 2 large egg whites, evenly beaten
• 1 cup seasoned panko*, or gluten free panko
• Olive oil spray
• 4 whole wheat buns, or gluten free buns
• 4 butter lettuce leaves

• Mix the ingredients for the Lemon-Caper Mayo in a small bowl and refrigerate until able to eat.

• Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Cut the fish into 4 pieces, about 4 x 4 inches. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

• Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl.

• In a second shallow bowl mix the panko with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

• Dip the fish into the egg whites, then the panko. Put aside.

• Spray the basket with oil. Lay the fish on the basket in a single layer, in batches as needed.

• Spray the tops of the fish with oil and air fry 400F 8 minutes, turning half way, until golden and crisp.

• Serve fish on buns with lettuce and divide the sauce.

No air fryer, no problem! Bake in a preheated oven 400 12 to 14 minutes, turning halfway.
