A crust of fresh horseradish, parsley and capers turns delicately crispy on this air-fried salmon. It’s an impressive dinner that’s also super simple to make. If you can’t find fresh horseradish, use a high-quality prepared product. Be sure to drain and squeeze it to remove as much moisture as possible. View Recipe

Pasta e Fagioli with Instant Ramen Noodles

Air-Fryer Scallops

A quick and impressive dinner, scallops turn succulent and tender in the air fryer. The lemon-herb sauce is the perfect way to bring zest to each bite. Be sure to cook the scallops to temperature.

View Recipe

Seared Salmon with Pesto Fettuccine for Two
