LEMON-GARLIC AIR FRYER SALMON



Lemon-Garlic Air Fryer Salmon image

This buttery lemon-garlic salmon is easy to throw together with a few simple ingredients. For best results, use center-cut fillets that are about 1-inch thick. Eight minutes cook time will produce salmon that is medium-well. Add 1 to 2 more minutes for well done, but take care not to overcook. Cook time may vary with different model air fryers.

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1½ teaspoons fresh dill (chopped)
1 teaspoon fresh basil (chopped)
4 (6oz.) salmon fillets (skin-on)

Steps:

  • Prepare the air fryer basket by spraying with non-stick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a small measuring cup or bowl and stir in lemon juice.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat all surfaces.
  • In another small bowl, mix together garlic powder, seasoning salt, pepper, dill, and basil.
  • Liberally sprinkle the dry mixture over the skinless side of the fillets.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skinless side up, into the air fryer. Try not to crowd the fillets.
  • Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes, then open the air fryer to check the salmon. Insert a fork in the thickest part of the filet, if it goes in easily and has a translucent, pink color inside, it's finished cooking. Each air fryer cooks differently. If the salmon is not done, cook for another 2 minutes and check again until done.
