Description
A quick and healthy air fryer salmon recipe infused with fresh lemon juice and herbs, delivering a perfectly cooked, flavorful fish with a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil and lemon mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
