📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried dill, black pepper, and salt. Place lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  2. 2
    In a separate bowl, toss trimmed asparagus with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. 3
    Place salmon fillets in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Arrange seasoned asparagus spears around the salmon, ensuring not to overcrowd.
  4. 4
    Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-14 minutes, depending on salmon thickness and desired doneness. Asparagus should be tender-crisp and salmon should flake easily.
  5. 5
    Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges, if desired.

💡 Notes

Ensure your air fryer basket isn't overcrowded for best results; cook in batches if necessary. For crispier salmon skin, start with the skin side up. This dish pairs well with a simple green salad.
