How nutritional categories are selected
These are indicative recipe estimates based on ingredients, amounts and servings. They help you choose dishes; they do not guarantee a laboratory-tested nutrient value.
- Calcium, iron and vitamin C: estimated contribution of at least 240 mg, 4.2 mg and 24 mg per serving respectively (30% of the adult reference intake).
- High protein: at least 20% of energy from protein. High fibre: at least 3 g per 100 kcal.
- Low carbohydrate: no more than 20 g per serving and 20% of energy from carbohydrate.
- Low energy and low fat: conservative estimates of the prepared dish per 100 g (40 kcal and 3 g fat for solids; 20 kcal and 1.5 g fat for drinks and soups). Uncertain yield is left unclassified.
- Omega-3: estimated at least 0.3 g ALA or 40 mg EPA+DHA per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Products with unknown composition are not counted as zero.

Method
-
Check the salmon for pin bones, pat dry and brush with the olive oil. Divide the salt between both fillets.
-
Preheat the empty air fryer for 5 minutes at 190°C. Place the fillets skin-side down with space between them.
-
Cook for 8–10 minutes at 190°C without turning. Check the thickest part: reach 63°C at the centre; the flesh should be opaque and flake apart. If not ready, add 1–2-minute intervals.
-
Lift out with a wide spatula and serve one fillet per person. The stated timing is for thawed fish of the specified thickness, not a frozen block.
