Ingredients

• 1 pound (454 g) salmon filets
• 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) lemon pepper seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) garlic powder , or 2 cloves fresh minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
• 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) minced parsley
• Lemon wedges , for serving

Equipment

• Air Fryer
• Perforated Silicone Mats , optional
• Perforated Parchment Sheets , optional

Instructions 

1. Cut the salmon into 1” to 1 1/2” cubes. Try to keep them about the same size so they will cook evenly.
2. In bowl combine 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves of minced garlic), 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Add cut salmon to the marinade and gently toss to coat all salmon pieces
4. Place a perforated silicone air fryer liner or a perforated parchment sheet in the air fryer basket/tray. Or if you aren’t using a liner/parchment sheet, spray the basket/tray with oil.
5. Place salmon in single layer in air fryer basket/tray.
6. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes. Gently squeeze the salmon to see how much it is cooked – the more cooked it is, the firmer it will be.
7. Continue to air fry for another 2-4 minutes at 380°F (193°C) or until salmon is cooked with your liking.
8. Garnish with minced parsley and serve with lemons.

If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
