Keyword: airfryer, quick and easy, Salmon
- 4 Fresh skin on salmon filets
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1½ Teaspoon Pepper
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Fresh herbs
Preheat air fryer to 400°
Brush salmon filets with olive oil
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
Place the filets, skin side down, into the basket of your air fryer. Cook for 8-10 minutes. After 5 minutes, check the doneness by gently pressing down on the top of the fillet with a fork or your finger. If the flesh of the salmon flakes—meaning, it separates easily along the white lines that run across the fillet, it's finished cooking. If not, close the lid and continue to cook. Check every two minutes until it is done.
Remove the salmon form the air fryer, give it a squeeze of lemon and then sprinkle it with fresh herbs.
