Air Fryer Salmon

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
2. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the salmon fillets. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the salmon get crispy in the air fryer.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
4. Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade on both sides. Make sure the salmon is well-coated.
5. Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray, skin-side down. Make sure there’s some space between the fillets to allow for proper air circulation.
6. Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). You may want to check after 8 minutes and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
7. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute before serving.
8. Serve the air fryer salmon with lemon wedges for added flavor and garnish. It pairs well with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
