- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp celtic sea salt

- 2 tsp Italian herbs
Instructions
- Coat the salmon filets evenly by rubbing them with olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian herbs thoroughly over the salmon.
- Place the salmon in the air fryer basket without crowding them to allow proper air circulation.
- Distribute the lemon slices around and on top of the salmon pieces.

- 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
