Description
A simple and healthy air fryer salmon filet recipe that delivers perfectly cooked, tender, and flaky salmon with a crispy exterior in just minutes.
Ingredients
2 salmon filets, 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 filets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of each salmon filet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon filets.
Place the salmon filets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon filets from the air fryer using a spatula.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
