Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup almond flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half, juicing one half and slicing the other half into thin slices for garnish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, dill, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and almond flour to form a thick paste-like mixture.
Step 4
Lightly pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets on a clean plate or a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 6
Spread the lemon herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing down gently to adhere.
Step 7
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, making sure they are not touching each other.
Step 8
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 10
Serve the salmon garnished with lemon slices for a fresh citrus touch.
