Description
A quick and easy air fryer recipe for perfectly cooked salmon wrapped in tin foil, infused with lemon, garlic, and herbs for a flavorful and moist result.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 sheets of tin foil, each about 12x12 inches
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Lay each tin foil sheet flat on a clean surface.
Place one salmon fillet in the center of each tin foil sheet, skin side down.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil evenly over each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill evenly over each fillet.
Distribute the minced garlic evenly over the two fillets, about 1 teaspoon per fillet.
Place lemon slices evenly on top of each salmon fillet.
Fold the tin foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet, making sure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping.
Place the foil packets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the air fryer and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Open the foil packets carefully to avoid steam burns.
Garnish each salmon fillet with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
