Finally, a salmon recipe that the little ones won’t stick their nose up at! The best part is… the ingredients are minimal and the cook time is quick!
Ingredients
- Skinless salmon filets
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
- Salt
Instructions
- First, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Next, remove with a sharp knife the excess salmon skin. Then pat dry salmon filets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and cut them into small bite pieces, about 1-inch pieces.
- Then, place them in a small bowl and sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to get them fully coated with the seasoning.
- After that, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place salmon pieces in the air fryer in one layer.
- Set air fryer for 4-5 minutes at 400 degrees F, because salmon cooks so fast.
- Finally, place salmon chunks on a serving plate and serve them with rice or any side of fresh veggies and a dipping sauce or some creamy sauce such as tartar sauce. You can even serve it with a creamy garlic sauce or a soy sauce.
These pops are a great way to cool down while also getting in electrolytes, vitamins, and omega-3! The fruit ingredients can be substituted for your family’s favorites.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 cup mango pieces (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/4 cup coconut water
- 4 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp honey
Instructions
- Puree strawberries (fresh or frozen) with half of the coconut water in a blender or food processor. Taste the mixture and blend in honey to desired sweetness, if needed. Stir in 2 tsp of chia seeds. Set aside.
- Puree mango (fresh or frozen) with the other half of the coconut water in a blender or food processor. Taste the mixture and blend in honey to desired sweetness, if needed. Stir in the remaining 2 tsp of chia seeds.

This recipe is delicious, healthy, and fits the festivities! For an extra boost of omega-3, substitute the sunflower seeds for hemp seeds.
Ingredients
- 4-5 oz. spinach
- 1 cup chopped, hulled strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- ¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds (see notes)
- 1 medium cucumber
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil, mint or a combination
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 oz. burrata cheese, drained
Instructions
- Add the spinach, strawberries, blueberries and sunflower seeds to a large bowl.
- Trim the ends of the cucumber. Slice in half lengthwise, then slice those halves in half lengthwise so you end up with 4 long spears. Cut the spears crosswise into about ½" pieces. Add them to the bowl along with the herbs.
- Using a mason jar or a medium bowl with a whisk, combine the vinegar, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. If it tastes too salty or acidic, know that pouring it over a large salad will help diffuse those flavors.
- Add about half the dressing to the salad and toss to coat evenly. Add the burrata and tear it apart with your hands into bite-sized blobs (sorry, but that's basically what they are). Add the rest of the dressing and toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning.
