My wife's air fryer chicken parmesan from last Tuesday was a game changer for our weeknight dinners.
She followed a recipe from a blog called 'The Crispy Kitchen' and after 18 minutes at 380 degrees, we had a meal that was better than our usual takeout from the place down the street, so what's your go-to air fryer recipe for a busy Wednesday night?

Totally get that. Some nights you just need a win. My air fryer saves me on Wednesdays too. I do frozen salmon fillets with just salt and pepper, maybe a little lemon juice. Cooks in 12 minutes. Throw some pre-cut broccoli in there for the last 5 minutes. Feels like a real meal without any of the real work.

Frozen salmon? That's a texture gamble I can't take.

Oh man, I used to feel the exact same way about frozen salmon! But then I figured out a trick that changed everything for me. I pat the fillets dry with paper towels before I season them, and that makes a huge difference in texture. Then I brush them with a little olive oil and cook them at 400 in my oven, skin side down on a foil lined pan. The skin gets crispy and the fish stays flaky and moist, not that weird mushy frozen texture. Seriously, it saved me on so many tired weeknights where I just could not deal with fresh fish.
