2tbspfinely minced parsley
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer, following your brand of default setting. Mine is Cosori and the default is 400F (204C) for 5 minutes.
Slice the salmon into two equalized pieces. Pat them dry if they are watery.
To prepare the sauce, in a measuring cup with sprout, combine olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until the salt is dissolved.
Line the air fryer basket with a thin piece of parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper with olive oil spray. Place two fillets in the basket with some space in between. Place them skin-side down.
Set aside 2 tbsp of the sauce and pour the remainder onto the fillets. Use a silicone brush to help you distribute the sauce evenly and all over the salmon.
Air fry for 8 minutes and check the doneness. Add another minute or two for medium-cooked salmon. The salmon is done when you can use a fork to flake easily.
Use a fish spatula, and carefully transfer the salmon out of the basket onto a serving plate. The skin might stick to the parchment.
Sprinkle the fillets with a touch of salt, drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp sauce, and garnish with the parsley on top. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side. Serve hot.
Notes
I highly recommend you line the air fryer basket - AFTER you reheat it.
I use center-cut Atlantic salmon fillets and my cook time is 400F (204C) for 9 minutes for medium-cooked salmon.
Use a silicon brush to help distribute the sauce all over the fillets.
The salmon skin might stick to the parchment paper so when you transfer the fillets out of the fryer, please take extra care or the salmon will break into pieces. They are still delicious just the presentation might not be as pretty. :)
