Q1: Can I use frozen salmon fillets for this recipe?
A1: It is recommended to use fresh salmon fillets for the best results. However, if using frozen fillets, ensure they are fully thawed and pat them dry before seasoning and air-frying.
Q2: Can I substitute the mango with another fruit for the salsa?
A2: While mango complements the salmon beautifully, you can substitute it with other fruits like pineapple or peach to create a different flavor profile for the salsa.
Q3: Can I adjust the cooking time for thicker or thinner salmon fillets?
A3: Yes, you can adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets. Thicker fillets may require a few additional minutes in the air fryer, while thinner fillets may cook slightly faster. Keep an eye on the salmon to ensure it is cooked through but still moist.
