Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets and drizzle lemon juice over the top.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, and cook for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, remove the salmon and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges before serving.

Notes

Ensure salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
