    When you are short on time and don't have too many ingredients in your pantry, these air fryer recipes come to the rescue. These recipes keep it simple—just six ingredients or less—but still deliver on flavor, texture, and satisfaction. Whether you're in the mood for something crispy, protein-packed, or just a solid snack, this list has you covered.

    Teriyaki Salmon

    All you need is salmon fillets and teriyaki sauce—let the air fryer do the rest. The glaze gets sticky and caramelized, while the fish stays flaky and tender. Add some sesame seeds or green onions if you're feeling fancy.
