Ingredients

8 oz Salmon I used two 4-oz Sockeye Salmon filets
1 tsp Herbes de Provence
1/4 tsp Natural ancient sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/4 tsp Smoked paprika
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Garlic butter You could swap this for another type of seasoned butter, regular butter, or butter mixed with lemon juice.

Instructions

Dry your salmon with a paper towel and run your hand over the surface gently to ensure that there are no bones.
Drizzle the olive oil on the fish and rub it in on both sides.
Mix the seasonings and sprinkle them on both sides of the fish.
Turn your air fryer on 390F and cook the salmon for 5-8 minutes. I recommend starting with 5 minutes, checking the fish, and then cooking in 1-minute increments until it flakes with a fork.
Melt the seasoned butter for 30 seconds in the microwave and pour it over the fish before eating.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in a 350F air fryer for 3-5 minutes, or in a 300F oven, covered in aluminum foil, for 10 minutes.
