Meal Prep & Leftover Tips
Air Fryer Salmon: When cooking salmon that weighs more than 3-4 oz, don’t overcrowd the basket. Just work in batches if you need to.
Boursin Mashed Potatoes: Start boiling the potatoes in cold water. This helps the potatoes cook evenly from the inside out, preventing that gummy texture.
Roasted Asparagus: The cut ends of asparagus can become woody and tough. To check for freshness, gently bend the spear near the bottom. If it snaps easily, it’s likely fresh. If it bends without breaking, it might be older and less tender.
Homemade Tarter Sauce: I make a large batch of this to enjoy throughout the week. It won’t last as long as store-bought since it’s made with wholesome ingredients, but it still lasts 5 days in the fridge!
Candied Pecans: I love serving these with cocktails before supper, sprinkling them over salads, or adding them to a holiday cheese board alongside pimento cheese and salami chips.
Best Salad For A Crowd: A great salad relies on the quality of its vegetables, so make sure to choose the freshest ingredients to make the best-tossed salad. Cut everything into even-sized pieces for a more attractive presentation.
Million Dollar Dip: Make the dip up to two days ahead of time and pop it in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve.
Fudgy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies: The batter can be made ahead of time and baked whenever you want cookies. Freeze the dough balls in an airtight container for up to 2 months, thaw, and bake.

Donya,
If using frozen salmon fillets, do they need to be thawed first before cooking in an air fryer?
Hi there! Great question.
Yes, it’s best to thaw frozen salmon fillets before cooking them in an air fryer for the most even cooking and best texture. Thawed salmon will cook more consistently and allow any seasonings or marinades to stick better. ~Donya
