WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dry thyme
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• fresh cracked black pepper
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley and/or a squeeze of lemon

HOW DO I MAKE QUICK & EASY AIR FRYER SALMON?

Start by patting dry your salmon on both sides with a paper towel. Then drizzle each side with olive oil.

In a small dish combine all of the dry seasonings. Season both sides of the fish.

Cook at 400 degrees F for 10-12, depending on how crispy you want the edges. There is no need to flip the salmon. But take a peak half way through, just to make sure it is cooking evenly.

Once they are finished cooking, transfer the fillets to a plate and let them rest for a couple minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon juice, if desired.

 Save this recipe for a quick and flavorful healthy seafood dinner!
