Calories 370kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon cut into 4 pieces
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 ½ lemons juiced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano minced
- 1/2-1 lb baby gold yukon potatoes
- kosher salt
Instructions
- If needed, cut salmon into 3-4 filets and check for any bones in the flesh. Set aside and make the marinade.
- In a medium bowl mix together lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and oregano. Brush 1/2 the mixture evenly over the salmon filets. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the other half of the marinade until well coated.
- Add 2-4 salmon filets to the preheated air fryer basket, depending on how large your air fryer can accommodate. Add 1/2 or all of the potatoes surrounding the salmon but being mindful not to overcrowd the basket to ensure even browning.
- Cook at 400 F for 10 minutes or until the fish is flaky and golden brown. If the potatoes are not fork tender you can continue to cook for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with ½ lemon and extra cracked black pepper.
Notes
Storage: Allow your salmon to cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days.
