Description

Experience juicy, flaky salmon fillets with a golden crust, infused with zesty lemon and aromatic dill—perfect for any dinner occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for even cooking and crisp texture.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place skin-side down in a bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dill across each piece.
  4. Carefully place seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  5. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Monitor closely to prevent overcooking.
  6. Transfer the salmon to plates and garnish with extra lemon slices or dill if desired. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
