Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly cooked salmon fillets with crispy skin using an air fryer. This method ensures tender, juicy salmon with a deliciously crisp skin in just minutes.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The skin should be crispy.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer using a spatula.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the salmon.
