Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 6 oz salmon filets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp celtic sea salt
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 lemon sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Coat the salmon filets evenly by rubbing them with olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian herbs thoroughly over the salmon.
  3. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket without crowding them to allow proper air circulation.
  4. Distribute the lemon slices around and on top of the salmon pieces.
  5. Cook the salmon at 400 degrees for 10 minutes for slightly pink centers, 12 minutes for fully cooked centers, or 14 minutes for well-done or thicker filets.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • I put a flexible cutting board down when slicing my lemon, as I’ll usually just use the juice that comes from cutting it
