This buttery lemon-garlic salmon is easy to throw together with a few simple ingredients. For best results, use center-cut fillets that are about 1-inch thick. Eight minutes cook time will produce salmon that is medium-well. Add 1 to 2 more minutes for well done, but take care not to overcook. Cook time may vary with different model air fryers.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 (6 ounce) fillets center-cut salmon fillets with skin
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon dried parsley
  • cooking spray
  • 3 thin slices lemon, cut in half
Step By Step Method
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Combine melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  3. Rinse salmon fillets and dry with a paper towel. Brush with butter mixture and sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning and parsley.
  4. Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down, and top each with 3 lemon halves.
  5. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
