Air Fryer Lemon Herb Salmon with Asparagus

1.Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 3 minutes.

2.In a medium bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Set aside.

3.In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, dried parsley, and garlic powder to create the herb mixture.

4.Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a plate and brush the tops evenly with the lemon herb mixture. Season the tops lightly with the remaining salt and pepper.

5.Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the air fryer basket. Arrange the seasoned asparagus spears around the salmon, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.

6.Place 2-3 thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.

7.Air fry for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 63°C or 145°F). The asparagus should be tender-crisp.

8.Carefully remove the salmon and asparagus from the air fryer. Serve immediately.
