Description
Prepare quick and healthy salmon in your air fryer with lemon and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried dill (or parsley)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispier exterior.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the herb and lemon mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there is some space between them for even cooking.
- Air fry for 10-14 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets and your desired doneness. Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with fresh lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- For crispier salmon, ensure the fillets are dry before seasoning.
