Storage and Reheating
If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. We recommend to store any leftover sauce in a separate container.
We don’t recommend to freeze this creamy dill sauce, but you can freeze air fryer salmon in a freezer-safe container. To do this, wrap each fillet in plastic wrap and place in an airtight and freezer-safe container.
Reheat on the stove or in your air fryer for the best results. The stovetop method: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in your pan over medium high heat. Add the salmon and cook for about 4 minutes. Then, flip and cook further for 1 minute or until warmed through.
Air fryer method: Preheat your air fryer to 350 °F|177 °C. Place the salmon in your air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook 3-5 minutes or until warmed though.
