A clean, high-protein meal that takes 20 minutes from fridge to plate. The air fryer does all the heavy lifting — crispy skin, flaky salmon, and perfectly tender asparagus with zero fuss.

Why air fryer

No preheating. No flipping. No oil-splattered stovetop. The circulating heat gives you crispy skin on the salmon and charred tips on the asparagus without any babysitting.

The herb topping

Fresh dill, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest mixed together. Spread it on the salmon before air frying — it forms a fragrant crust as it cooks. Do not skip the lemon zest, it makes the whole dish.

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (150g each)
• 200g asparagus, trimmed
• 1 lemon (zest + juice)
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
