Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fingerling potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets 6 ounces each

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  • In a bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until evenly coated.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes or until tender, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • In another bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil with the ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground ginger, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Add the salmon fillets to the spice mixture and turn until fully coated.
  • Once the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin-side up, on top of the potatoes in the air fryer basket.
  • Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the salmon skin is slightly crisp.
  • Transfer the salmon fillets and potatoes to serving plates and serve immediately while warm.
