Air Fryer Salmon Sandwich
This air fryer salmon sandwich easy to make at home, and thanks to the air fryer, healthier too. My daughter Karina loves fish sandwiches with my lemon-caper mayo, so when the only 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 usually deep fried. But this salmon sandwich is certainly one I would order out.

You can use fresh or frozen salmon for this recipe. If you use frozen, thaw it first. To prep the salmon, cut it into four 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 in the air fryer with very little oil.
How long do I cook salmon in 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 as simple as it sounds. All you do is combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and capers and refrigerate it until you’re ready to eat. You can use tartar sauce if you want to make this faster.
