Simple and delicious Salmon Fish Skin with Air Fryer

Crispy Air-Fried Salmon Skin: The Perfect Guilt-Free Snack

Looking for a delicious and crunchy snack that’s incredibly easy to make? Look no further than air-fried salmon fish skin! This simple recipe turns a budget-friendly find into a savory, crispy treat.

I recently stumbled upon a pack of salmon fish skin at Don Don Donki for just $3.90, and it was the perfect ingredient for a new kitchen experiment. With a little seasoning and the magic of the air fryer, you can transform this often-overlooked part of the fish into something truly special.

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

• Salmon fish skin (from your local Japanese supermarket like Don Don Donki)

• 1-2 tbsp corn starch

• A drizzle of neutral oil (like coconut or avocado oil)

• Salt, to taste

• Black pepper, to taste

• Paprika powder, to taste (or any of your favorite seasonings! Salted egg perhaps?)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish Skin: Start by thoroughly washing the salmon fish skin under cold water. This helps remove any excess oils. Pat the skin completely dry with a paper towel. This is a crucial step to ensure maximum crispiness.

2. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the corn starch, salt, pepper, and paprika powder. In a separate bowl, place the dried fish skin and drizzle with a little oil, tossing to coat lightly. Then, add the seasoning mixture and toss until each piece is evenly coated. The oil and corn starch are the keys to getting that extra crispy texture.

3. Air Fry: Arrange the seasoned fish skin in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket, as this will prevent them from getting crispy. For best results, you may need to cook in batches.

4. Cook to Perfection: Air fry the salmon skin at 180°C (350°F) for 8-12 minutes. Keep a close eye on them after the 8-minute mark. You're looking for a beautiful golden-brown color and a satisfying crunch. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the skin and your air fryer model.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the crispy salmon skin from the air fryer and let it cool for a moment before serving. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh!

Enjoy this simple, tasty, and surprisingly healthy snack!
