Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has the skin on. The skin will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the salmon fillet generously. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook the salmon fillet in a single layer. This will help to ensure that the salmon cooks evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If the basket is too crowded, the salmon will not cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon fillet for 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon fillet immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Air fryer salmon and asparagus is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The salmon is cooked to perfection in the air fryer, and the asparagus is roasted until tender-crisp. This meal is healthy and delicious, and it is sure to become a family favorite. Note: For the best results, use a digital meat thermometer to ensure that the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
