- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
While the air fryer is preheating, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice.
Step 4
Brush the salmon fillets generously with the olive oil and lemon juice mixture on both sides.
Step 5
In another small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 7
Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 8
Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
