Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill, and black pepper to create a seasoning paste.
Brush the seasoning paste evenly over the salmon fillets.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze half a lemon over the seasoned salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Make sure they are not touching each other.
Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the salmon is cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, chop the fresh parsley finely.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute.
Serve the salmon fillets with an additional squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for garnish.
