    INGREDIENTS

    • 2 Boneless salmon fillet's (4 ounces each)
    • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil (Click here for my favorite brand on Amazon)
    • 2 Tablespoons Lime juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
    • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
    US Customary - Metric

    EQUIPMENT

    • Air Fryer (Here's the air fryer I like best on Amazon)
    • Meat Thermometer (Click here for the one I like best on Amazon
    • basting brush

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Mix the avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper into a small bowl.
    • Mix well to make sure all your ingredients come togther to make a paste.
    • Use a brush to spread the mixture on all sides of the Salmon Fillet's.
    • Place into the air fryer.
    • Cook at 400F for 10 minutes. Or, cook until a desired temperature is reached. See notes

    JENNIFER'S TIPS

    • Skin on?:  You can buy salmon with the skin on but it will not crisp up with this recipe.  No need to remove the skin, though, the flesh will pull right off of the skin after it is cooked.
    • Checking for doneness:  A meat thermometer is the perfect way to check to see if the salmon is done too your liking.  If you like your salmon to be medium-rare (my favorite) Pull the salmon when it is at 125F
    • This recipe is easily doubled to make 4 filets.

      I made this tonight and it was very good. Mixing the oil/lime juice and spices was in no way a paste, though, it was more like a marinade. Did I do something wrong?

      I am making this for dinner tonight. I am keto so I’m wondering where the carbs are coming from in this recipe? When I input it into my food tracker it’s coming up as zero carbs.

          Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I re-checked the nutrition and it should be 1 carb.
