Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets salmon 4 to 6 oz each, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 lb broccoli florets 1 to 2 inch pieces
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • lemon wedges to serve

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Toss the florets with oil and salt. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and cook 6 minutes, shaking once.
  2. Pat the fillets dry and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the fillets to the basket and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the salmon flakes.
  4. Squeeze lemon over both.

Notes

Broccoli first: it needs the extra minutes to crisp.
Go light on oil for the florets, or they turn greasy instead of crisp.
