    What is Tuscan Salmon?

    Tuscan Salmon is a dish inspired by Tuscany (Italy) and features salmon served in a creamy sauce featuring tomatoes, garlic, and spinach.

    I like how easy this recipe is to make in an air fryer.

    Have you tried my Air Fryer Polenta Fries (just 4 ingredients)?

    Those Air Fryer Polenta Fries are a nice alternative to the usual French Fries cooked in oil. Both those polenta fried and this salmon would go nicely when served together.

    Sun-dried tomatoes in oil is used in making this recipe. You can find a selection of sun-dried tomatoes here.

    Ingredients needed to make this salmon recipe.

    • Olive Oil. A small amount is used to air fry the salmon in.
    • Salmon Fillets. Alaskan Sockeye Salmon were used to make my Tuscan salmon.
    • Sun Dried Tomatoes in Oil. This is actually an easy cheat as it mean you will not have to precook any tomatoes for this recipe.

    Tips for making the best tuscan salmon.

    Using salmon that is of good quality and fresh can really make a difference. Frozen salmon can be used but, should be thawed first.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. I would not use larger than eight ounce fillets as there may not be enough room in your air fryer.
    2. Air frying times can vary depending on the size of your fillets and your air fryer.
    3. My salmon was air fried in an air fryer safe pan. The pan helps keep the ingredients together and makes for an easier transfer and clean up.
    4. When selecting salmon fillets, choose firm salmon fillets that are of similar thickness for even air frying.
    5. Before you make this recipe it is a good idea to use clean paper towels to pat the salmon dry in order to remove any excess moisture. This will help your salmon get slightly crisp on the outside.
    6. Your salmon is done cooking when it can be easily flaked apart with a fork, and it has reached an internal temperature of 145. Over cooking the salmon will make it dry and not as enjoyable
    7. If your salmon does not appear to be done cooking you can cook it for a few more minutes, keeping an eye on it as well.

    Once the food has fully cooled it can be stored in an airtight container. The salmon and the sauce should be stored separately if possible. When properly stored, leftovers should keep for about three to four days refrigerated. Freezing is not recommended.

      I am going to try this. I never thought about making salmon in an air fryer. Do you remove the skin after air frying then?

        The skin helps keep the salmon moist while cooking. I would remove it before eating it however. thanks!
