Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (30g) almond meal
  • 1/4 cup (20g) finely grated parmesan
  • 1 tbs finely chopped basil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 40g butter, softened
  • 4 Coles Tasmanian Skin On Salmon Portions
  • 600g baby white potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 60g baby rocket leaves
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup (20g) shaved parmesan
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
  • Basil leaves, extra, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

STEP 1

Preheat air fryer to 180°C. Combine the almond meal, grated parmesan, chopped basil and garlic in a bowl. Add butter. Use your fingertips to rub butter into basil mixture until combined. Press evenly over salmon. Cook in the air fryer for 15 mins or until cooked to your liking. 

STEP 2

Meanwhile, place the potato in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook in the microwave on high for 8 mins or until tender. Drizzle with oil. Toss to coat.

STEP 3

Transfer salmon to a plate. Cover with foil. Increase the air fryer to 200°C. Cook potatoes in the air fryer for 20 mins or until golden and crisp. Season. 

STEP 4

Combine rocket, tomato and shaved parmesan in a large bowl. Season.

STEP 5

Place salmon and potato in a dish. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with extra basil. Serve with the salad and lemon wedges. 

In the oven 

To make this without an air fryer, bake the potato at 180°C for 30-35 mins, adding the salmon for the last 15 mins.

Go wholegrain 

Instead of potatoes, serve salmon with toasted multigrain bread or wholemeal sourdough slices.
