Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 large Lemon
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
Zest the large lemon to gather 1 teaspoon of zest, then cut it in half and squeeze out 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, fresh dill, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, panko breadcrumbs, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
Step 5
Spread the lemon herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing it down gently to ensure it sticks.
Step 6
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking, then carefully place the salmon fillets inside, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
Step 7
Air fry the salmon for 12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
