- Garlic powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon

- Black pepper – 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: While the air fryer is preheating, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Step 4: Brush the mixture evenly over the top and sides of the salmon fillets.
- Step 5: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Notes
- Leftover air fryer salmon is delicious cold in a salad the next day!
- For best results when reheating, lightly mist the salmon with water before air frying again at 350°F (175°C) for just a few minutes.
- Serve this simple salmon with roasted asparagus and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a complete and healthy meal.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
