Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 lemon, juiced
Optional: smoked paprika, Italian herbs, Dijon mustard
Instructions
1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
2. Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice.
3. Optionally, add smoked paprika or herbs.
4. Place fillets in air fryer basket, skin side down.
5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 7–10 minutes, depending on thickness.
6. Check for doneness: salmon should flake easily and be hot inside.
7. Let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
Brush skin with oil for crispier texture.
No preheating needed, but check for doneness early.
Pair with steamed veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
