Description
A quick and flavorful air fryer garlic salmon recipe that is tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked with a delicious garlic butter glaze.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 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.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush the garlic butter 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 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.
