Description

Delicious and healthy air fryer salmon fillets seasoned perfectly for a quick meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Tartar sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F if needed.
  2. Pat the salmon dry, then rub each salmon fillet with olive oil.
  3. Season with garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon in the air fryer at 400° and air fry for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. The time may vary slightly between air fryers.
  5. Open the basket and check for desired doneness with a fork. It should flake easily. You can return the salmon to cook for another 1 or 2 minutes if needed.
  6. Garnish with parsley, serve with a Caesar salad, some tartar sauce on the side and enjoy!

Notes

  • Check for doneness starting at 7 minutes; thicker fillets may require more time.
  • Pair with your favorite side dishes.
