Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly crispy salmon cooked in the air fryer, featuring a simple seasoning that enhances the natural flavor of the fish while delivering a crispy exterior and tender interior.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
Brush both sides of each salmon fillet with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
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 the skin is crispy.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to serving plates.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
