Salmon loin with red pesto in airfryer

We return to the September routine now, we leave behind summer meals and flexible schedules... and the truth is that our body asks us to eat well, healthy and homemade. That's why today we bring you this delicious salmon loin with red pesto sauce in airfryer. Of course, you can also do it in the oven if there are many of you or you don't have an air fryer. But if you have an air fryer and there are only a few of you, doing it in the air fryer is an excellent option because we will stain less and, above all, because we will do it in 5 minutes.

With thermomix we prepare a delicious pesto rosso or red pesto based on tomato, parmesan cheese and pine nuts. Delicious! will give you is punch to the salmon that we will love. Then a touch of chives, cilantro and lime and enjoy!

Amounts

As we have done in the airfryer, we have only put in two beautiful loins of salmon that are almost enough for 3 people. Depending on the size of your airfryer you can put 1 or 4 loins. But it takes so little that even if only two fit, if you need to do 4, it's worth doing it in batches of 2.

The quantities of the pesto are for 4 people, so take advantage and save what you have left over for cook the next few days a pasta (eg spaghetti, farfalle, spirals...) and pour it on top, super delicious! And so you already have another meal ready for these days.
