Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Zest the lemon and add the zest to the mixture. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salmon fillets.
Brush the olive oil and spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes or over a fresh salad.
