Description
A quick and healthy meal featuring perfectly cooked salmon fillets and tender asparagus spears, all made effortlessly in the air fryer.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed (about 12 spears)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with half of the olive oil.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the trimmed asparagus in a bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
Place the asparagus spears next to the salmon in a single layer.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Carefully remove the salmon and asparagus from the air fryer.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the salmon and asparagus.
