Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Evenly coat each salmon fillet with the prepared lemon herb paste, ensuring the top and sides are well covered.
Place the coated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional herbs or lemon slices.
