Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the herb mixture.
Gently rub the herb mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the salmon fillets to form a crust.
Lightly spray the air fryer's basket with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the salmon fillets warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
