Step 1

Start out with thoroughly patting the rinsed salmon fillets dry then brush each side of the salmon with avocado oil. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer with plenty of room between them for the air to circulate. Cook at 390°F (199°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Once the time is up, open the air fryer basket and use a fork to check the doneness. If the salmon flakes apart easily at its thickest portion, it's ready to serve.

Step 4

Serve right away with a slice or two of lemon, if desired.
