Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 8 oz salmon filets (skin on)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 slices lemon
  • 2 tsp fresh dill (minced)
  • vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Season the salmon filets evenly with salt on all sides.
  3. Place the seasoned salmon filets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down, ensuring they do not touch.
  4. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky (internal temperature 145°F/63°C).
  5. Place half of the butter on top of each salmon filet to melt.
  6. Sprinkle each filet with fresh dill and top with a lemon slice before serving.

Notes

- Ensure salmon filets are similar in thickness for even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and salmon thickness.
