Notes
Storage: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to maintain texture.
Make-Ahead Tip: The herb-butter mixture can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Substitutions: Use fresh herbs like oregano and dill (3 times the amount) for a brighter flavor. For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with an equal amount of olive oil or a dairy-free butter alternative.
