Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried dill, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Brush the oil and spice mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the spiced salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on your air fryer size, you may need to cook in batches.
Set the air fryer to cook at 400°F (200°C) and air fry the salmon for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon immediately with your choice of Whole30 approved sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
