Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help ensure they get nicely crispy.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring that the fillets are well coated on all sides.
Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon fillets for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the exterior is golden and crispy.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to plates.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, allowing each diner to add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to their salmon before eating.
