Ingredients for air fryer salmon fillets
2 fresh salmon fillets
100g of fresh asparagus
200g of baby new potatoes, chopped
A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt
Olive oil spray
Seasoning
The juice of a Lemon (half for the yogurt dressing and half to squeeze on the fish after serving)
Method
So start by patting dry your salmon fillets with kitchen roll and spray them with olive oil, then set aside.
Then chop your baby new potatoes making sure they are all of a similar size; this will ensure a more even cook. Pop them into a bowl and spray with olive oil, giving them a shake, then season well with salt and pepper.
Add your potatoes and salmon into your air fryer basket and set the temperature to 190°C. Then cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked throughout and the potatoes are soft and starting to brown. Remember to shake the potatoes a few times throughout the cooking time.
While the salmon and potatoes are cooking, you can make your yogurt dip. In a bowl, mix your yogurt, half the juice of a lemon, and your handful of finely chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
To prepare your asparagus, chop the ends off and spray with a little olive oil. Add them to the air fryer when you have around 4 minutes left of cooking time.
Serve your salmon, potatoes and asparagus with your yogurt dressing, a squeeze of lemon on your fish, and some crusty bread on the side if you choose. Enjoy!
