How do I know when the salmon is done?

Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), typically at the 10-15 minute mark depending on fillet thickness.

Can I prepare the marinade ahead of time?

Yes. Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and all spices together and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, then apply to salmon right before cooking.

What's the difference between oven and air fryer cooking times?

Air fryer cooks faster at 10 minutes due to circulating heat; the oven takes 15 minutes at 400°F. Both methods produce moist, flaky salmon.

Is this recipe truly Whole30 compliant?

Yes, when using compliant olive oil and ensuring all dried herbs contain no added sugars or fillers. Check ingredient labels for any additives.

How do I store leftovers?

Store cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven or eat cold in salads.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with oven-safe parchment paper
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and all spices. Stir well so the spices are fully incorporated with the oil
3
Pat each of the salmon fillets dry and place them onto the baking sheet skin side down. Use a spoon or a marinade brush to coat each piece of salmon with the Greek marinade. Don’t overdo it with the marinade, but do be sure to have a good amount of the minced garlic and seasonings left behind on top of the salmon
4
Place the sheet pan into the oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on how thick your fillets are. Remove from the oven and serve with chopped parsley and lemon wedges
5
If your air fryer requires it, preheat it to 400 degrees F.
6
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and all spices. Stir well so the spices are fully incorporated with the oil
7
