Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 lemon, sliced

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while the salmon marinates.

        Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket skin-side down, leaving space between each fillet. Top each fillet with a lemon slice.

          Air Fry the Salmon: Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should be 145°F/63°C).

            Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
