Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly crispy salmon cooked in the air fryer. The salmon has a golden, crunchy exterior and tender, flaky inside, making it a healthy and delicious meal option.
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 smoked paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 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 salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked 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 are not touching.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
