Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon fillets thoroughly with paper towels to remove surface moisture.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush the marinade evenly over the top and sides of the fillets.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado oil and arrange fillets in a single layer.
  6. Air fry for 7–10 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored and the flesh flakes easily.
  7. Remove the salmon when the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  8. Let the fillets rest on a plate for 5 minutes to reach a final internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
