# Lemon Herb Salmon & Asparagus

04/04/2026 · 2 min · 🕐 20min · 🔥 480 cal · 🥩 44g protein · 🥦 4g fiber

Air fryer salmon with a fresh herb crust and crispy asparagus. 44g protein, ready in 20 minutes.

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
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
