LEMON, GARLIC, & ROSEMARY SALMON

Living in the Midwest, I’m always skeptical when it comes to fish. Salmon is one of the few that I enjoy, but I never knew which cooking method would taste best. With enough experimenting, I’ve finally put together my favorite salmon recipe! It’s tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Not to mention, it's a great source of vitamins and protein! Your body will definitely thank you.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb fresh salmon (about two filets)

• 2 lemons (one sliced)

• 2 sprigs of Rosemary

• 2 tbsp minced garlic

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp paprika

• 1 tbsp onion powder

• 1 tbsp lemon pepper

• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

• 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Rub salmon with olive oil, then coat with all your seasonings.

3. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the top, then add a sprig of rosemary and lemon slices.

4. On a baking sheet, place salmon on a piece of aluminum foil. Wrap loosely. You want it to be sealed, but tented up enough so it’s not entirely touching the salmon.

5. Bake for 5-6 minutes.

6. *Remove salmon from the oven, and transfer to the air fryer.

7. Air fry at 350 for an additional 3-4 minutes, uncovered.

*This step is totally optional, I just prefer to cook it the rest of the way in the air fryer! You can stick to the oven- just continue baking for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Squeeze a little more lemon juice on top, and serve!
