Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Pat dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning adhere better and create a crispy crust.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well blended.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over each salmon fillet. Make sure to cover both sides generously to infuse the flavor.
Step 5
Carefully place the salmon fillets into the air fryer basket, skin-side down, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 6
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork and has a cooked internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the salmon fillets gently from the air fryer and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve each piece with a lemon wedge and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly meal!
