Enter the ultimate weeknight hack: The Salmon & Broccoli Air Fryer meal from Cedar Bay Grilling Company.
Forget everything you know about frozen meals. This isn’t a “microwave and hope for the best” situation—it’s a high-speed, air-fryer-ready dinner designed to go from freezer to fork in 15 minutes flat. No thawing, no chopping, and absolutely no prep.
The Zero-Prep Game Changer
Usually, a salmon dinner involves thawing the fish, trimming the broccoli, and finding the right spices. Cedar Bay has officially removed the friction.
- Straight From Frozen: No more “I forgot to take the fish out” panic. This meal is designed to cook perfectly from frozen.
- Balanced & Healthy: A premium Atlantic salmon fillet paired with hearty broccoli florets.
- No extra Cleanup: It cooks right in the air-fryer, and then can be plated. When you’re done, there are no pans to scrub-just the air fryer tray and dinner plates.
How to Get the Perfect Crisp
The beauty of this product is its simplicity, but a few pro-tips will help you get that “restaurant-quality” finish every time.
The Setup
Remove the vacuum-sealed salmon from your Cedar Bay By The Sea Salmon & Broccoli bag. Place the salmon directly into your air fryer basket. Do not add the broccoli yet or it will burn. Cook according to the package air fryer instructions which will produce your hot meal in less than 20 minutes!
The Flake Test
You’ll know it’s ready when the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Because of the way these are packaged, the salmon stays buttery and tender while the broccoli gets that “roasted” crisp.
Why It Works
Cedar Bay is famous for their wood-fired flavors, and they bring that same expertise here. The salmon comes pre-seasoned (look for their signature spices!), and as it cooks, the juices season the broccoli. It’s a self-contained flavor explosion.
Sizzling Tip: To level it up, add some white or brown rice to the meal to bulk it up.
Expand Your Air Fryer Menu
If you love flavorful salmon, or cod–you have to try the rest of the lineup! Cedar Bay has launched a full range of Air Fryer Bagged Meals that bring that same gourmet energy to different cravings.
If you want to keep the air fryer working overtime, look for these three frozen bagged varieties:
- Salmon & Veggies: For those nights when you want a complete, colorful garden on your plate alongside a perfectly seasoned fillet.
- Salmon Bites: They get incredibly crispy on the outside while staying tender inside—perfect for dipping or tossing into a quick grain bowl.
- Fish & Chips: These are a Sizzling Eats favorite! The ultimate comfort food made healthy. You get that satisfying crunch on the fish and perfectly browned “chips” (fries) without the heavy deep-fryer oil.
Sizzling Tip: All of these bagged meals are “frozen-to-fryer.” You can toss the contents right into the basket (according to package instructions) and have a multi-component meal ready before you can even finish setting the table.
Final Verdict
If you have 15 minutes, you have a gourmet dinner. The Cedar Bay By The Sea Salmon & Broccoli meal is the definition of “effortless eating.” It’s fast, fresh, and tastes like you actually tried.
Stock up your freezer—your busy weeknights just got a whole lot tastier.
