If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious meal that can be prepared in no time, this air fryer salmon recipe is perfect for you. The air fryer gives the salmon a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender. Let’s dive into this simple yet delightful recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and ensures a crispy texture.
- Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Ensure there’s enough space between the fillets for the hot air to circulate, which will give you a crispy finish.
- Use a meat thermometer: To avoid overcooking, check the internal temperature of the salmon.
- Experiment with flavors: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking or try different herbs and spices.
