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 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the lemon mixture evenly over both sides of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon 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.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salmon fillets before serving.
