Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until evenly moistened.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush each fillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Evenly coat the top side of each salmon fillet with the lemon herb breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
