2 fillets salmon 6 to 8 oz each, skin-on
4 cups mixed vegetables bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, cut uniform
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp lemon zest
kosher salt and black pepper
lemon wedges to serve

Toss the vegetables with half the oil and salt. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) and cook them 6 minutes, shaking once.
Pat the fillets dry and rub with the remaining oil, garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Push the vegetables aside, add the fillets skin-side down, and cook 8 to 10 minutes more, until the salmon flakes.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon.

Uniform cuts: match vegetable sizes so they cook at one rate.

Quick-cooking veg (tomatoes, thin peppers) can go in with the salmon instead of ahead.
