  1. Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture over the salmon fillets.
  3. Step 3: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While the salmon is cooking, prepare the avocado orange salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, orange segments, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Step 5: To assemble the bowl, add a serving of cooked rice or quinoa to a bowl. Top it with the air-fried salmon and spoon the avocado orange salsa over the top.
  6. Step 6: Serve with lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
