Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with the lemon and olive oil mixture.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
Cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 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.
