Notes

For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayo. For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat salmon in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes at 350 degrees to bring back the crispy texture.
