This is so inspiring - thank you for sharing! I really love these "everyday" cooking insights. I find myself getting caught up in Pinterest, meal prepping (not a trigger for me, but still a lot of work) and a general lack of inspiration when I need to get something to eat "now." You may be one of the few (only?) chefs/cooks who actually shows me how to use what I have on hand to make something satisfying and delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Are the times and temperatures the same in the air fryer?

I would do same temp, but check a little sooner as things tend to move more quickly in an air fryer...

This non-recipe recipe is so good and in constant rotation at my house, too. A good toaster oven is a magical thing. And thanks for putting into print what I am always afraid to say: yes, you can cook fish from frozen just fine <3

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a great resource for sustainable options: https://www.seafoodwatch.org — I consult their website all of the time. This fish I used in the photos was cod!

Hey ! I did a little riff on this myself. Saturday night I quickly cooked a couple of frozen salmon fillets and then made a spicy noodle dish with zucchini noodles, garlic, red pepper flakes, and brocillini. On Saturday night I ate one of the salmon pieces and the noodle stuff with some cheese on top. Yummy. Last night I reheated the leftover noodle stuff and other piece of salmon. Even better than the first night. Frozen fish is perfect for so many uses.

Toaster oven, not the air fryer?

Yep I opted for that this time but the air fryer also works beautifully — sometimes I try to give my toaster oven some love too since I neglect it so much these days because of my air fryer lol

Hi Julia- I’ve fallen off the cooking wagon lately and just started reading this post. I don’t even like fish but I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how comforting these posts are! Thank you!!
