Air Fryer Salmon with Steamed Bok Choy in Chilli, Ginger & Garlic Sauce

This recipe literally takes 20 minutes to prepare and make. It is quick, easy, healthy and tastes – so what’s not to like?

Mr M purchased an air fryer last year and I have to admit we don’t use it often enough. We do cook our salmon this way and it always tastes delicious and perfectly cooked in 18 minutes.

Why is it healthy?

All of the ingredients are staples in the diet of people living in Blue Zones, which are areas where people live longer and with lower rates of disease.

Salmon – rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids which have been shown to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and decrease risk factors for disease.

Bok Choy – full of cancer-fighting compounds such as vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, folate, and selenium.

Chilli – improves digestive health and metabolism

Garlic – boosts immunity, anti-inflammatory, improves cardio-vascular health

Ginger – medicinal properties, may help with osteroarthritis, settles the stomach (nausea), improves heart disease risk

Olive Oil – rich in healthy monosaturated fats with strong anti-inflammatory properties
