- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Evenly coat each salmon fillet with the prepared lemon herb paste, ensuring the top and sides are well covered.
Step 5
Place the coated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 6
Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional herbs or lemon slices.
