Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly cooked salmon filets using an air fryer. This method yields tender, flaky salmon with a crispy exterior in just minutes.
Ingredients
2 salmon filets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the salmon filets with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon filets.
Place the salmon filets skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 8 to 10 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 serve immediately with lemon wedges.
