Preparation
In a bowl, combine the mixed seafood with the marinade ingredients: olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the seafood evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
Place the marinated seafood in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on your air fryer’s capacity, you may need to cook in batches.
Air fry the seafood for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the seafood is cooked through and lightly browned.
While the seafood is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients. Arrange the mixed salad greens, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, red onion, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes on a serving platter.
Once the seafood is cooked, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot seafood to add brightness and flavor.
Arrange the air-fried seafood on top of the prepared salad greens and vegetables, then serve.
