Dijon salmon — Ninja Speedi

by Don

Coating for salmon:

  • 2 tablespoons Digon mustard
  • 1 tsp paparikia
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspon kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil

Coat four 6-ounce salmon fillets, then bake at 400° for 10 minutes per the source.  My fillets were pretty thick so that was not sufficient.  I added 10 minutes on bake at 350°.  That was nearly perfect.  Next time I would try 4 minuts.

Notes:

2023-08-16a:  In terms of taste I thought this was okay, but I liked the lemon pepper and salt version better.

Just salmon — NInja Speedi

by Don  

2023-08-14:  Experiment 1.  I prepared the salmon with olive oil and spices, the spices being salt and lemon pepper.  Tray in upper position.  First I tried bake for 8 minutes at 400°.  Parts were still uncooked.  I finished it off on bake for 5 minutes at 350°.  Seemed to turn out okay.

Next time around I think I'll try just 350° but for a longer time, say 10 minutes to start with.

Salmon with sweet chili roasted vegetables — Ninja Speedi

by Don  

Source:  Ninja Speedi Perfect Salmon Served with Sweet Chilli Vegetables

Holey moley, I just tried this recipe, and it came out perfect the first time.

Ingredients

  • One head of cauliflower
  • A similar amount of brocolli
  • One red bell pepper
  • About a pound of salmon
  • Sweet chili sauce

Method

  1. Remove crisper tray from Speedi pot.
  2. Chop cauliflower into flowerets. Put down a layer that covers the bottom of the pot.
  3. Chop brocolli into flowerets.  Put down a layer that covers the cauliflower.
  4. Chop bell pepper into strips about a quarter of an inch wide and 2-3 inches long.  Lay on the brocolli.
  5. Cut the salmon into fillet strips of about 6oz.  Season with salt, black pepper and garlic.  Lay on the bell pepper strips.  This will protect the bell peppers from burning.
  6. Set the Speedi to 15 minutes at 350°F on the "steam and bake" setting.  Note:  we are not adding water to the pot.
  7. Check the salmon at seven minutes into baking.  It should read about 145° at the thickest part.  Stop cooking when we get there.
  8. Toss the cooked vegggies with sweet chili sauce.

2023-07-09:  I used "Slap ya mama" seasoning plus garlic powder.

Notes:  Although the recipe worked perfectly, I found I didn't like the fishy taste on the vegetables eaten as left overs.  Henceforth, do the vegetables first and separately.

Fiery orange jalapeño salmon, attempt 1

by Don  

I'm starting to experiment with salmon, which I'm not sure I have ever cooked before, and I want to do it in my air fryer.  I purchased a 6 oz portion of fiery orange jalapeño salmon at Sprouts.  First I tried it using the broil function for five minutes with the crisper raised high.  Not nearly sufficiently cooked, so I added five minutes of baking at 300°F.  Oddly enough, that came out perfectly.

It might be more sensible, though, to do a simple bake function for a longer period of time.
