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.
