This air fryer salmon is full of flavor with a hint of sweetness. It's moist, delicious, and ready in under 10 minutes. If using an unsalted Cajun seasoning, you may want to season the fillets with salt before serving. I like to use a Misto sprayer with oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray. For best results, use 1-inch-thick, center-cut fillets.

Bagna Cauda
A family friend made bagna cauda for me and it has been my favorite dipping sauce since. If you like garlic, you'll love this! It's traditionally served warm with crusty Italian bread, endive, or roasted potatoes on Christmas Eve.
Po' Boy Pie
Very simple and good. Nice to have on hand the ingredients to make it for uninvited guests. Best served warm with a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream.
Roasted Boneless Leg of Lamb
I purchased a boneless leg of lamb roast from the store recently but had no idea how I'd cook it. After reading a few other recipes, I came up with my own marinade for the lamb before I roasted it. It was a hit! Hope you like it as much as we did.
