Air Fryer Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Fresh parsley or dill (optional)

Instructions

1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
2. Brush the salmon with olive oil.
3. Mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the salmon.
5. Drizzle with lemon juice.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
7. Place the salmon in the basket skin-side down.
8. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 7–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
9. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
10. Let it rest for 2–3 minutes.
11. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill and serve with lemon wedges.

Tip

For extra juicy salmon, avoid overcooking. Start checking the fillets around 7 minutes if they are thin.
