Ingredients
1 pound salmon fillet, skin-on
1 avocado, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2 slices of your favorite gluten-free bread, toasted
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon fillet on the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the avocado toast by mashing the avocado with a fork and spreading it on the toasted bread.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
Top the avocado toast with the flaked salmon and drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
