Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well.
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil, then evenly spread the lemon herb mixture on top of each fillet.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs with any residual lemon herb mixture to create a crust topping.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the salmon fillets, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Lightly coat the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow even cooking.
Air fry the salmon at 380°F (193°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
