Air Fryer Salmon
Juicy, flaky, and deliciously flavored Salmon fillets cooked in the Air Fryer! This easy Keto-friendly seafood recipe is the perfect choice anytime you want a fabulous, low carb dinner.
Servings : 2 serves
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets, fillets should be about 5 to 6 ounces each
- 1½ tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian Seasoning
- salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter and whisk in minced garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, parsley, and Italian seasoning.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the butter mixture and season them with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the salmon fillets to the air fryer basket.
- Set Air Fryer at 390˚F and cook salmon for 7 to 8 minutes, or to your desired doneness. Salmon is cooked when internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. If you want to double the recipe, cook in batches. Only cook a few pieces in the air fryer at once; proper airflow is critical for optimal cooking and browning.
- If you want a crispier salmon, you can briefly broil it in the oven, but I find that the air fryer does an excellent job at browning the fillets.
- Ensure the salmon pieces are about the same in size for even cooking.
- You can use frozen fillets but consider adding a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
