Instructions

STEP 1 Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3-6 minutes, depending on make, model, and product instructions. Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic on a cutting board (or use a garlic press). Add salt to the garlic and mash the mixture together with the flat side of a knife to form a paste. Transfer to a small bowl.

STEP 2 Add lemon juice, oil, coriander and 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or chili powder) to the garlic mixture; whisk to combine. Pat the salmon dry, then spoon the mixture evenly over the tops of the filets.

STEP 3 Coat the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray and arrange the salmon skin-side down inside the basket. Cook until browned and just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from the air fryer.

STEP 4 Top the salmon evenly with lemon zest, parsley and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or chili powder). Serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.
