air fryer salmon

Ingredients

• 1 lb Salmon Fillet, skin on or off
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Lemon, sliced
• 1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
• 1 tsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Paprika
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Brush the mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
5. Place lemon slices on top of the salmon.
6. Air fry for 8-12 minutes, depending on desired doneness. (For medium, aim for 12 minutes; for medium-well, 14-16 minutes).
7. Check for doneness by flaking with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Notes

• For best results, use a skin-on salmon fillet.
• If you prefer crispier skin, you can briefly sear the salmon skin-side down in a skillet before air frying.
• To ensure even cooking, place the salmon on a parchment-lined air fryer basket.
• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's great for salads, sandwiches, or fish tacos.
