Not a salmon fan but that looks delicious. I’d give it a try!
 
I put my application in at the cafe, but not sure if Joel is taking interns - plus Jo is veteran compared to me.

I’m the ‘unpaid’ intern- lol
Wait, there's paid interns????

fried salmon in an air fryer (preheat the fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and then put the salmon in for 8 minutes) without oil of any kind, recommended 1,000%
