Easy Low-Carb Air Fryer Salmon with Mustard-Herb Sauce
Easy Low-Carb Air Fryer Salmon with Mustard-Herb Sauce is one of the tastiest things I've cooked in the Air Fryer!

Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, thawed if frozen
- 4 tsp. olive oil, for rubbing on salmon
- 2 tsp. fish rub, for rubbing on salmon
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 T mayo
- 1 T Dijon mustard, or slightly more
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 T finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 T finely chopped green onion
- 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
Directions
- Thaw salmon overnight in the fridge if frozen.
- When you're ready to cook, drain salmon and pat dry if needed. Then rub each piece with a small amount of olive oil and then with Szeged Fish Rub (or your favorite fish rub.)
- Put salmon on the air fryer rack and let it come to room temperature while you make the sauce.
- Finely chop green onions and fresh parsley for the sauce.
- Then whisk together sour cream, mayo, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, chopped green onion, and dried dill. Taste sauce and see if you want a little more Dijon Mustard.
- Set Air Fryer to 400F/200C.
- Cook the fish 6 minutes, then check for doneness by pressing down on the fish with a finger. It should feel barely firm but not hard when it's done. (Our salmon pieces are quite small so thicker fish might take a minute or two longer to cook.)
- Serve salmon hot, with Mustard-Herb Sauce on the side.
