Lemon Garlic Salmon – Air Fryer Recipe 🍋

Here’s the full recipe, written out so you can save it and follow it easily.

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (150–180 g each)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• Lemon slices and fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer. Set it to 190°C (375°F) for 3 minutes.

2. Prepare the marinade. Mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper in a small bowl.

3. Season the salmon. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and brush the marinade over them.

4. Cook the salmon. Place the fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 190°C for 7–10 minutes, depending on thickness. Do not overcrowd the basket.

5. Check that it is cooked. The thickest part should reach 63°C (145°F) and the fish should flake easily with a fork. Cook for a few extra minutes if necessary.

6. Garnish and serve. Add fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley. Rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions

Serve your salmon with:

• Steamed rice or couscous.

• Air-fried potato wedges.

• Roasted broccoli, carrots or green beans.

Tip: For a richer flavor, add a small knob of butter to the hot salmon just before serving.
