- Arrange: Place your seasoned salmon on a greased air fryer basket or lined baking sheet making sure they are not over crowded.

Notes
If you do not have an air fryer, this recipe can be easily prepared in the oven. Using a fresh block of parmesan and grating it yourself ensures a smoother, lump-free sauce texture.
