Instructions
Creating Air Fryer Salmon is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a plate and brush both sides with the marinade. Allow them to marinate for about 5 minutes for enhanced flavor.
4. Place in Air Fryer: Once marinated, carefully place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Cook the Salmon: Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
6. Check for Doneness: If needed, add one more minute of cooking time, but be cautious not to overcook the salmon as it can become dry.
7. Serve Immediately: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Following these steps will lead you to a perfectly cooked Air Fryer Salmon that you can be proud to serve!
