A simple and healthy air fryer salmon recipe that requires no oil, delivering perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful salmon fillets with a crisp exterior.
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, sliced
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching.
Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with the lemon slices.
