Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Salmon (68 of 150)

Fish is something that's really hard for me to get into my meal planning. I don't have too many fish recipes, so when one comes up, I take full advantage of it. 

Salmon is one of my favorite fish to eat. I do like it cooked well though. Tonight was the first time I put it in the air fryer. Pro tip: make sure the skin side is also oiled. If not, the skin is going to stick to the air fryer and make it harder to clean. 

Ahem. 

I tossed some broccoli in olive oil and lemon pepper and added it into the basket half way through. 

This is an easy, and delicious recipe. Lemon and salmon are a good paring. 

Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Salmon

Recipe from Sweet C Designs

Serves 4

• 4 6 oz salmon filets
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp celtic sea salt
• 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
• 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp Italian herbs

In a large bowl, drizzle lemon juice and olive oil over salmon and rub to make sure the salmon filets are evenly coated.

Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian herbs.

Arrange salmon filets in air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch too much (don't over crowd the basket, so air can move around salmon easily).

Arrange lemon slices on and around salmon in air fryer basket.

Set air fryer to 400 degrees and cook for 10 minutes for salmon with a little bit of red in the middle.

Cook for 12 minutes for salmon with no red in the middle, 14 for well done salmon or thicker salmon filets.

Serve and enjoy!
