Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped parsley, dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets, then evenly coat the salmon with the herb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
Slice the lemon into wedges.
Place the coated salmon fillets into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each fillet for even cooking.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the crust is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the salmon fillets garnished with lemon wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
