Air-Fried Spicy Smoked Paprika Salmon is a protein-packed dish that uses air fryer to create a flavorful crust with smoked paprika, cumin, and a touch of cayenne, all without the added fat of traditional frying. The result? Perfectly seasoned, juicy salmon that's good for you and bursting with taste.

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets (150 g each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions:

1 Season the Salmon
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then coat generously with a mix of smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2 Air Fry the Salmon
Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, ensuring they're not overcrowded. Cook at 180°C for 7-8 minutes or until the salmon is flaky and the crust is vibrant.
3 Serve
Garnish the salmon with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon for added zest. Pair with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
