Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 large Lemon
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside on a plate.
Zest the large lemon to gather 1 teaspoon of zest, then cut it in half and squeeze out 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, fresh dill, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, panko breadcrumbs, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
Spread the lemon herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing it down gently to ensure it sticks.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, then carefully place the salmon fillets inside, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
Air fry the salmon for 12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
