Ingredients and Variations
Salmon – Choose salmon fillets that are clean and without odor or discoloration. They should be the same size so they cook evenly. Thaw frozen fillets before cooking, and add minutes for extra thick fillets. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer which should read 145°F. Leave the skin on for extra flavor and more Omega 3s.
Seasonings – Fresh seasonings like lemon pepper and dill enhance the delicate flavor of salmon. Try a sprinkle of DIY salmon seasoning for a more pronounced grilled salmon flavor or any combination of basil, rosemary, or other fresh herbs. Substitute the oil for melted garlic butter or add a drizzle of creamy dill sauce to finish.
![Salmon with dill in the air fryer is super easy to make. Brush salmon with oil and lemon juice. Season filets (as per the recipe). Air fry until salmon, then season with a squirt of juice from a fresh lemon wedge! For extra healthy fats, save that skin! Not only does it hold the fillet together and look good on a platter, but it’s delicious! #salmonwithdill #airfryersalmonrecipe #easyairfryersalmonrecipes #everythingairfryer air fryer salmon with dill in an air fryer tray](https://everythingairfryer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Air-Fryer-Salmon-with-Dill-EverythingAirFryer-5.jpg)
How to Make Air Fryer Salmon with Dill
Cooking salmon is simple and makes an elegant and delicious dinner!
- Mix olive oil and lemon juice together in a small bowl and brush over filets (make sure they are patted dry so the seasonings stick).
- Season filets and air fry until salmon reaches an internal temp of 145°F or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
Pro Tip:
Make a ‘raft’ of lemon slices or sprigs of fresh dill to place under the salmon for a more infused flavor.
