Crispy Air Fryer Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce
This recipe showcases the PowerXL Air Fryer's ability to create restaurant-quality results at home. The salmon is cooked to flaky perfection, with a wonderfully crispy skin, and the bright lemon-dill sauce adds a burst of fresh flavor. It's a perfect example of how easy it is to make healthy meals using your air fryer.
Ingredients:
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lemon-Dill Sauce:
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Preheat: Preheat your PowerXL Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Air Fry: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Top each fillet with a few lemon slices. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Make the Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
- Serve: Serve the crispy air-fried salmon immediately, drizzled with the lemon-dill sauce.
Cooking Tips:
- For extra crispy skin, ensure the salmon fillets are completely dry before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cooking in batches ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- Check the salmon for doneness at the 8-minute mark. Cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on your air fryer and the thickness of the fillets.
Variations:
- Add other herbs and spices to the salmon, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Use different citrus fruits, such as lime or orange, instead of lemon.
- Substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
