Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 oz each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup asparagus spears
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl. Brush salmon fillets with olive oil on both sides, then generously apply the seasoning mixture to the top of each fillet.
  2. Place salmon skin-side down in your air fryer basket, leaving space between fillets. Arrange broccoli and asparagus around the salmon, tossing vegetables with melted butter and a pinch of salt for even cooking.
  3. Set your air fryer to 400°F and cook for 12 minutes without opening the basket midway through cooking. This air fryer salmon family summer recipe depends on consistent heat to achieve perfectly flaked fish with minimal effort.
  4. During the final minute of cooking, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle with dill. The timing ensures bright citrus flavor without overcooking the delicate fish.
  5. Carefully remove the basket and check that salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender. Transfer to serving plates, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, then serve immediately while everything is hot.
