Ingredients (for 2 servings)
-2 salmon
fillets (about 150-180g each)
-1
tablespoon olive oil
-1 teaspoon
garlic powder
-1 teaspoon
red capsicum (or paprika)
-½ teaspoon
salt
-½ teaspoon
black pepper
-1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-(Optional)
1 teaspoon honey or soy sauce for a sweet-savory twist
Instructions
1. Preheat your Air Fryer
You should preheat your Air Fryer to 200°C
(400°F) for 3 minutes. That way, it ensures the basket is quite hot to crisp
the skin immediately.
2. Beginning with Salmon Seasoning
Dab the fillets dry with paper towels
moisture will inhibit the crispiness! Add olive oil, garlic powder, red
capsicum, salt, and pepper, over the top sprinkle with fresh lemon juice. Do
not leave off before cooking.
3. Air Fry to Perfectness
Place the fillets skin-side down in the
basket and then place it inside.The amount of time taken would depend on the
thickness, but generally, this should be between 10 to 12 minutes. Flipping not
necessary! The Air Fryer circulates heat evenly making a beautiful golden crisp
top.
4. Test Its Doneness
The salmon should flake easily with a fork.
If you'd like, use a thermometer for excellent precision: 63C (145F) at the
thickest point.
5. Serve & Savor it
Enjoy together with sliced fresh lemon on
top as well as fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Then serve as an accompaniment
with roasted vegetables and jasmine rice, or crisp green salad.
Chef Perfect Air Fryer Salmon Tips
Doesn't overcrowding the basket is a
must-air circulation is the magic of crispiness.

seasoning, or drizzle with honey mustard.
