3 Time-Saving Tips for Making Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Modern Kitchen Tools

Cook Salmon in Minutes with the Instant Pot

Simply season the salmon, add a bit of water or broth to the Instant Pot, and use the steamer rack to cook the fish on high pressure for 3-4 minutes.

Air Fry Your Shrimp for an Extra Crunch

To add a crispy texture to your shrimp, use the Air Fryer. Coat the shrimp in a light layer of oil and season with your favorite spices. Set the Air Fryer to 375°F for 8-10 minutes and enjoy shrimp that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Blanch Veggies Fast on the Induction Stove

The Induction Stove offers rapid heat control, making it ideal for blanching vegetables like asparagus, beans, or spinach for your salad. Fill a pot with water, bring it to a boil in under a minute, and blanch your veggies in just 2-3 minutes.

Tips and Suggestions on Salmon Salad and Shrimp

Cook Seafood Perfectly

Ensure your salmon and shrimp are cooked just right. For salmon, aim for a crispy skin with tender flesh, and for shrimp, avoid overcooking for a juicy texture.

Season Gently

Use simple seasonings like lemon zest, garlic, and herbs to bring out the natural flavors of the seafood without overwhelming them.

Use Fresh Greens

Combine your seafood with a mix of fresh greens like spinach, arugula, or kale for a nutritious and flavorful base for your salad.

Add Crunch

Include crunchy vegetables like cucumber, radish, or bell peppers to add texture and freshness to the salad.

Dress Lightly

A light vinaigrette made from olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of mustard complements the flavors of the seafood without overpowering them.

Serve Chilled

For a refreshing meal, serve your salmon and shrimp salad chilled, especially on hot days.
