Healthy Air Fryer Salmon in 17 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Pat the salmon fillets bone dry with paper towels. Note: This is the secret to that mahogany sear.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Brush the marinade evenly over the top and sides of each fillet. Note: Don't forget the edges, or they'll look pale.
4. Place the fillets skin side down in the air fryer basket.
5. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 7–10 minutes. until the edges are charred and the top is opaque.
6. Use a meat thermometer to check the center. Remove the fish when the internal temperature hits 135°F (57°C).
7. Move the fillets to a plate immediately.
8. Allow the fillets to rest for 5 minutes; residual heat will carry the internal temperature to 145°F (63°C).
