A quick and delicious air fryer salmon recipe coated with a flavorful garlic parmesan crust. Perfectly cooked salmon with a crispy, cheesy topping in just minutes.
4 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the salmon fillets evenly with olive oil on all sides.
Press the garlic parmesan mixture firmly onto the top side of each salmon fillet to form a crust.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, crust side up, 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 the crust is golden brown.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
