TV Tonight: Jamie’s Air Fryer Meals cooks up salmon, cheesecake and chicken and mushroom pastry parcels

Jamie Oliver is back with his mouth-watering meals and delicious dishes, this time specifically designed for the newest kitchen craze – the air fryer. With 45% of us now owning an air fryer – the biggest change to the home kitchen in decades – Jamie brings us some innovative new ways to make the most of our air fryer and integrate it into everyday life.

Packed full of clever ideas, tips and tricks, Jamie helps us to truly maximise the potential of the air fryer, from quick and simple snacks to full-blown impressive meals. Plus, guest chefs share their top tips for us to upgrade our air-fryer repertoires. In this episode, Jamie cooks up a true family favourite in his household – his chicken and mushroom pastry parcels.

They’re easy enough for weekdays, but impressive enough if you want something fancy at the weekend. Jamie shares his love of experimenting with veggies in the air fryer with his grilled Mediterranean veg and flatbread recipe, rubbing them with spices, giving them a bit of char and attitude, then serving them up with a punchy dressing, fluffy flatbread and garlicky yoghurt. Jamie also rattles out clever tips on how to cook steamed fish in the air fryer, with his scored and stuffed salmon, tinned potatoes, scorched greens and quick salsa – a genius midweek meal with big flavour but minimal effort.

Next, he shows us how to cook chicken in a bag, using one of his favourite ingredient combos and sealed inside a foil parcel that puffs up during cooking and allows everything to steam together – a delicious way to cook during the week. He then invites his chef-friend Sabrina Gidda to share her recipe for Masala-spiced lamb chops, making the most of the dry air-fryer heat, served alongside her air-fryer rice. Jamie then tops it all off with his stunning layered burnt cheesecake, with dark chocolate melted between the layers, to create a really sophisticated dessert.
