Description
A simple and delicious air fryer salmon recipe that uses olive oil to create a crispy, flavorful crust while keeping the fish tender and juicy inside. Perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons extra virgin 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
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Brush both sides of each salmon fillet evenly with extra virgin 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.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 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.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
