Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on a plate and brush the marinade over each fillet evenly, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with a bit of olive oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Place the marinated salmon fillets skin side down in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fillets are cooked through and flaky.
Carefully remove the salmon fillets from the air fryer. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low carb air fryer salmon with your choice of low-carb sides such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
