When time is short, salmon is one of the few things that still feels like a proper meal. The air fryer keeps it tender inside and lightly golden on top, without asking for much attention.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove the salmon from the fridge while the air fryer heats up.
- Pat the fillets dry and place them on a plate, skin-side down.
- Drizzle with olive oil and spread it lightly with your fingers.
- Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest.
- Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down, leaving space around each piece.
- Cook at 190°C / 375°F for 8–10 minutes, depending on thickness.
- Finish with lemon juice just before serving.
For the next day (changed perspective: meal prep)
If you have leftovers, flake the salmon while it’s still warm and store it tightly covered. It works well cold in salads or gently reheated for a quick lunch the next day without drying out.
