Cooking in the air fryer is easy, which leaves a little time for creativity. This air fryer Korean red pepper salmon takes the best of a good produce and combines it with the irresistible Korean red pepper. Slathering mayonnaise on it along with lemon turns this into the most delectable marinade.

Cooked until the smokey flavours of charred pepper forms into the perfect crust, it is so mouthwatering that you'll want seconds.
