Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 fillets salmon about 5 to 6 ounces each
  • 1.5 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons parsley chopped fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian Seasoning dried
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels.
  2. Melt the butter and whisk in the minced garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, parsley, and Italian seasoning. Brush the salmon fillets with the butter mixture and season the filets with salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer the salmon to the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 390°F and cook the fish for 7 to 8 minutes or to your desired doneness. Salmon is cooked through when its internal temperature registers at 145°F.
  4. Remove the fillets from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

This is a simple and delicious way to prepare salmon. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your fillets and your desired level of doneness.
