Ingredients

Scale

2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
12 ounces baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
While the potatoes cook, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down on top of the potatoes in the air fryer basket.
Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the potatoes are tender and crispy.
Remove the salmon and potatoes from the air fryer. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
