3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
Place the brown sugar, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and mustard powder in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Brush the olive oil over all the sides of the salmon fillets, then rub the spice mixture into the salmon.
Place the fillets in a single layer in the air fryer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve, with lemon wedges if desired.
