- 1 lb salmon fillet 1 serving = 8 oz
- 1 tsp Johny's seasoning (Note 1) or your favorite fish seasoning
- 1 tsp neutral-flavored oil
- 2 slices of lemon
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1/4 tsp salt
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F as you work on the ingredients.
-
Cut the salmon into 8 oz fillets. Tuck the thin belly side of the salmon under to create an even thickness fillet for even cooking.
Drizzle with 1 tsp of oil and 1 tsp of the seasoning (Note 1) and pat it down firmly on both sides. Place the lemon slice on top of the fillet, if desired.
-
Spray the air fryer with non-stick spray and add the salmon fillets to the air fryer cooking rack, spacing the fillets evenly. Close the air fryer and cook for about 8 minutes to 10 minutes or until the fish registers 145°F in the center of the thickest part of the salmon fillet using an instant-read probe thermometer.
Add the asparagus with a sprinkling of salt (1/4 tsp salt per 1 lb of asparagus) 4 minutes into the cooking time if desired (Note 2).
-
Remove to a serving dish and serve while hot with a wedge of lemon.
Note 1:
If no prepared seasoning is available, replace it with
- 1/2 tsp of kosher salt (use less if using table salt)
- 1/4 tsp black ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
- 1/8 (a pinch) of smoked paprika
Note 2
Adding the asparagus will slightly hinder the crisping of the salmon on the sides, but does allow you to cook both at the same time, keep this in mind.
