Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet skin-on, cut into 4 portions
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush the marinade generously over each portion, ensuring the skin side is also coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with additional fresh dill and a lemon wedge before serving.
