If the salmon is too long, cut it in half to create smaller fillets.

Set the salmon fillets aside.

In a deep container, add 4 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the lemon juice.

Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.

Mince 2 teaspoons of garlic and add it to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together with a small whisk.

Coat the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring both sides are covered.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (or as hot as it can go).

Grease the air fryer basket and place the salmon fillets inside, ensuring space around them.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika over the salmon.

If the seasonings clump together, mix them with your hands to distribute evenly.

Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 145°F.

Once cooked, sprinkle dill on each filet before serving.
