Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds (or 4 fillets) salmon
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1½ lemons (cut the whole lemon into slices, cut the half lemon in two)
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Remove salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Spray air fryer pan with nonstick spray or rub the pan with olive oil. Place salmon in air fryer pan. Drizzle salmon with olive oil and juice from the two half-lemon pieces; sprinkle with the paprika, salt and pepper (to taste). Place lemon slices on top of salmon.
- Set air fryer to 400°F and set timer to 12 minutes (or to 7 minutes if cooking just one 1½-inch fillet). When timer alarm goes off, check to see if salmon is cooked through (salmon’s internal temperature should be at least 145°F and the fish should flake easily).
- If additional cooking time is needed, keep air fryer at 400°F and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes (do not overcook).
