Servings : 4
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, skin OFF or ON, I keep the skin ON for easier handling (fillets should be about 4 to 6 ounces each)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary finely chopped
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- lemon slices for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer to 400˚F.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Pat dry the salmon filets with paper towels; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
- Spread the mustard mixture over the filets.
- Lightly spray the tops of the salmon filets with cooking spray.
- Transfer salmon to air fryer basket and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Salmon is cooked through when internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
