Ready in 30 minutes: "This recipe is not only easy but does not require many items. I added a clove of garlic to the boiling wine sauce and used salted butter because I felt it needed more zing. I didn't measure the lemon. It was very simple and really good. Will go into my rotation," reviewer nskiddo21 says.

Ready in 35 minutes: Here's a quick, healthy salmon dinner for two that's as easy as it is elegant. "Frozen spinach and garden vegetable cream cheese combine with salmon fillets!" says Bibi." This is easy to double, if you need 4 servings. Created for a regular oven, this recipe is easily prepared in an air fryer by reducing the temperature by 25 degrees and reducing the time by five minutes. Be sure to monitor for doneness, because overcooking will dry out the salmon."
