The Best Lemon Dill Salmon for a Quick Air Fryer Dinner (Anti-Inflammatory)

On busy weeknights, lemon dill salmon is one of my favorite dinners when I want something fresh, light, and filling without a lot of cleanup. The air fryer keeps the salmon tender and flaky, while the lemon slices, fresh dill, garlic, and olive oil help reduce that overly fishy taste. I love this easy salmon recipe for a healthy dinner, quick lunch, or simple meal prep protein!
