This buttery lemon-garlic salmon is easy to throw together in the air fryer with a few simple ingredients. For best results, use center-cut fillets that are about 1-inch thick.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (6 ounce) fillets center-cut salmon fillets with skin
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
cooking spray
3 thin slices lemon, cut in half

Directions

1 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Combine melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.
3 Rinse salmon fillets and dry with a paper towel. Brush with butter mixture and sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning and parsley.
4 Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down, and top each with 3 lemon halves.
5 Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
