Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • 1 serving Lemon wedges

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rub each salmon fillet with olive oil. Season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  4. If needed, return the salmon to the air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes to reach your desired level of doneness.
  5. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of sauce, such as tartar sauce.

Notes

This recipe is a base for customization. You can prepare other sauces like a garlic butter sauce or a dill sauce to accompany the salmon. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your salmon fillets for optimal results.
