Air-Fried Lemon Pepper Salmon
Let me preface this by saying, I was extremely hesitant to the idea of an air-fryer. I was not sure how it worked, and frankly, I did not want to learn the ins and outs of a new kitchen appliance. After I discovered how absolutely easy it was and the benefits of an air fryer, I have been using it every single day! Meal prepping is a breeze with this contraption.

Fantastic dinner for two.
Directions:
- Thoroughly debone and cleanse salmon filet

Optional:
- If you desire a more citrus taste to your salmon, you can place the marinated lemon slices in your air-fryer, while the salmon is being prepared
If you do not have an air-fryer in your home, I will place a link to the amazing one I have! It is energy-efficient, easy to use, and it promotes a healthier lifestyle. If you have been debating on whether to purchase an air-fryer or not, I hope this propels your decision to purchase one. I paired this salmon with Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, and it is fantastic. No big clean up and no extra dishes! It is a total win-win!
