A quick and delicious Air Fryer Salmon recipe coated with a flavorful garlic parmesan crust. Perfectly cooked salmon with a crispy, cheesy topping ready in under 20 minutes.
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub evenly to coat both sides.
Press the Parmesan mixture evenly onto the top side of each salmon fillet to form a crust.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, crust side up, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
