Steps
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)) for about 3 minutes. Pat the salmon dry. Leave the fillets whole, or cut them into evenly sized bite-sized pieces for salmon bites.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, garlic powder, and dried oregano or Italian seasoning. Stir until evenly blended.
Add the salmon to a bowl and pour the garlic-butter mixture over it. Turn gently until every piece is coated. If using whole fillets, brush the mixture over the top and sides.
Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving space around each piece for the hot air to circulate. Work in batches if necessary.
Air-fry salmon bites at 400°F (200 °C) (200°C (400 °F)) for 7–10 minutes, shaking or turning them halfway through, until browned on the edges and flaky in the center. Whole fillets may require about 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness.
Check that the thickest part reaches 145°F (63 °C) (63°C (145 °F)), then transfer the salmon to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley or dill and serve immediately.
Notes
The source provides the ingredient list but does not include the full cooking directions; air-fryer temperature and timing are practical estimates. Avoid overcrowding the basket, and begin checking early because salmon pieces vary in size.
