Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets with skin (6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel.
  3. Rub olive oil on both sides of the salmon.

  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness.
