Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets salmon 6 to 8 oz each
  • 10 oz green beans trimmed
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • chili flakes a pinch for the beans, optional

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Toss the beans with oil, salt, and garlic powder. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and cook them 5 minutes.
  2. Pat the fillets dry and season with paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Push the beans aside, add the fillets skin-side down, and cook 8 to 10 minutes more until the salmon flakes.
  4. Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Beans first: five minutes of solo time gets them blistered before the fish goes in.
Single layer for the beans, or they steam.
