Description
Learn how to make delicious Easy Garlic Butter Air Fryer Salmon with this simple recipe! Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
Ingredients
- – 500g (1lb) salmon fillets
- – 1/2 cup (120ml) melted butter
- – 3 garlic cloves crushed
- – 1 tsp (5 ml) oregano
- – pinch of chilli flakes
- – 2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice
- – 2 tsp (10 ml) parsley
- – salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, crushed garlic, oregano, chili flakes, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper for seasoning.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the salmon fillets.
- Position the salmon with the flesh side facing down on a sheet of parchment paper, then apply half of the garlic butter mixture using a brush.
- Set the salmon in the air fryer and cook at 200ºC/390ºF for 5 minutes or until the skin turns crispy.
- Carefully flip the salmon over, discard the parchment paper, and apply the rest of the garlic butter mixture.
- Return the salmon to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Take it out and serve with a slice of lemon.
Notes
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Use a brush to evenly coat the salmon with the garlic butter mixture for a flavorful bite every time.
- Check the salmon’s doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest part – it should easily flake when cooked.
