Preparation Details

- Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
- Total Time: 15–17 minutes
- Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin-on or skinless)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Rub olive oil or melted butter evenly over the fillets.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the fillets.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Salmon
- Place the seasoned fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. For 1-inch thick fillets, 10 minutes is usually sufficient.
Step 4: Add Dill and Serve
- Sprinkle the fresh dill over the cooked salmon.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips for Success
- Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Skin-On Fillets: If using skin-on fillets, place them skin-side down in the air fryer for easier removal.
- Add-Ons: Pair with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or rice for a complete meal.
