Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, black pepper, and lemon zest to make the marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over all sides of each salmon fillet.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Cook the salmon in the preheated air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the salmon with your choice of side dishes, like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, to complete the meal.
