Air Fryer Salmon
350kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet skin-on or skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon cut into wedges (for serving)
Method
- Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Drizzle the salmon with olive oil, then rub it evenly over both sides.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the salmon.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if using skin-on fillet.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep it moist.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.
