Why I Love This Recipe

A perfect salmon recipe that is quick allowing for an easy dinner or fast snack!


Ingredients You'll Need

Nonstick spray
4 (4- to 5-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon pepper (or 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for garnish


Directions

Prepare the air fryer basket:
Lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.


Season the salmon:
Place the salmon on a plate skin side down. Drizzle the tops (the skinless sides) with olive oil and season with lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper.


Air fry the salmon:
Place the salmon in the air fryer basket. Make sure they aren’t touching. I like to place mine skin-side down, but skin-side up is also an option. If you’d like, place a few lemon slices under each piece of salmon.

Air fry the salmon for about 8 minutes at 350˚F. The salmon is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F to 140˚F when measured with an instant read thermometer. You can cook it longer if you want a slightly more well-done piece.


Serve the salmon:
Serve the salmon with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

Refrigerate leftover salmon for up to 3 days.


Pairs Well With

Lemon Zest
