Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it's ready for cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on a plate and evenly brush both sides of each fillet with the marinade mixture.
Step 4
Let the marinated salmon rest for about 5 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded and have ample space for air circulation.
Step 6
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes. The exact time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets, but the fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and should flake easily with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 8
Serve the salmon immediately while hot with lemon wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
