Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 6 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, juice from 1/2 lemon, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Brush 1 tsp olive oil over salmon fillets and season with 1/4 tsp kosher salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin-side down. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes until edges are crisp and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon cooks, whisk together the yogurt mixture again to ensure it’s smooth. Serve salmon topped with 1 tbsp of the yogurt sauce and extra dill for garnish.
