- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

- Brush the salmon with olive oil.

- Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if applicable. Ensure there is some space around the fillet for air circulation.
