  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  • Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil.
