Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 4 salmon filets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • lemon wedges for serving
Broccoli
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels.
  3. Brush the salmon with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over each fillet.
  5. Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Place the salmon and broccoli in the air fryer basket, making sure they are arranged in a single layer.
  7. Cook for 8–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Thicker salmon fillets may need an extra minute or two.
Fresh or frozen salmon both work well (thaw frozen salmon first).
Avoid overcrowding the basket so the broccoli roasts evenly.
This recipe pairs well with rice, quinoa, or roasted potatoes.
