Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Using a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Zest the lemon and add it to the seasoning mix, then cut the lemon into wedges and set aside.

Step 5

Brush the seasoning mix evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is well coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the salmon fillets into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; air must circulate freely.

Step 7

Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.

Step 8

While the salmon is cooking, finely chop the fresh dill.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the air fryer and place on a serving plate.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped dill over the salmon fillets and serve with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.
