Directions
Step 1
Pat dry the 4 salmon fillets with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
For additional flavor, add a few slices of lemon on top of each fillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Step 9
