Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup almond flour
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half, juicing one half and slicing the other half into thin slices for garnish.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, dill, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and almond flour to form a thick paste-like mixture.
Lightly pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Place the salmon fillets on a clean plate or a sheet of parchment paper.
Spread the lemon herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing down gently to adhere.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, making sure they are not touching each other.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crispy.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the salmon garnished with lemon slices for a fresh citrus touch.
