A quick and healthy recipe for perfectly cooked skinless salmon fillets using an air fryer. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned simply with lemon, garlic, and herbs.
2 skinless salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets 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, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the salmon before serving.
