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 1 pound
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.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each fillet with olive oil, then evenly season with the spice mixture.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
In a separate bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus spears around the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Carefully remove the salmon and asparagus from the air fryer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
