Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon
2 sprigs fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Cut two large pieces of tin foil, each large enough to wrap one salmon fillet completely.
Place one salmon fillet in the center of each piece of tin foil, skin side down.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the fillets.
Season each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill.
Place 3 to 4 lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Add one sprig of fresh parsley on top of the lemon slices.
Fold the sides of the tin foil over the salmon and seal tightly to create a foil packet.
Place the foil packets in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil packets from the air fryer and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Open the foil packets carefully to avoid steam, and serve the salmon hot.
