(Easy, Healthy & Crispy Air Fryer Salmon Recipe)

Make juicy and perfectly grilled salmon in an air fryer in just 15 minutes! A quick, healthy, and flavorful recipe with minimal oil and maximum taste.

Ingredients:

1. 2 salmon fillets (approx. 150–200g each, skin-on or skinless)

2. 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

3. 1 tsp garlic powder

4. 1/2 tsp paprika

5. 1/2 tsp black pepper

6. 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

7. 1 tsp lemon juice

8. Fresh dill or parsley (for garnish)

9. Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 3–5 minutes.

2. Prepare the salmon:
   Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush with olive oil or butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt evenly on both sides. Drizzle with lemon juice.

3. Air fry the salmon:
   Place the fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness. No flipping needed.

4. Check for doneness:
   The salmon should be flaky and opaque. Internal temp should reach 63°C (145°F).

5. Garnish and serve:
   Top with chopped parsley or dill and serve hot with lemon wedges.

Cooking Tips:

• Don’t overcrowd the basket — leave space between fillets for even cooking.

• For extra crispiness, air fry 1–2 more minutes.

• Add a honey mustard or garlic butter glaze for extra flavor before the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with air-fried vegetables, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.

• Great with a light salad or steamed asparagus.

• Serve with a side of Greek yogurt dill sauce or avocado salsa.
