  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  • Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a crispy exterior.
  • Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Garnish with fresh herbs and a slice of lemon if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
