Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help ensure they get nicely crispy.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring that the fillets are well coated on all sides.
Step 5
Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 6
Air fry the salmon fillets for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the exterior is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to plates.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges, allowing each diner to add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to their salmon before eating.
