Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 1 medium lemon
- 1 small spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons dried dill
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Cut the lemon in half and reserve one half for juicing. Slice the other half into thin rounds.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Lightly spray both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil spray.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets, pressing gently to help the seasoning adhere.
Step 7
Place a few lemon slices in the bottom of the air fryer basket.
Step 8
Lay the seasoned salmon fillets on top of the lemon slices in the air fryer basket.
Step 9
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 10
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 11
Squeeze the reserved half of the lemon over the cooked salmon for a fresh burst of flavor.
Step 12
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes. Enjoy your low-fat air fryer salmon!
