Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted

  • ½ tsp. Herbs de Provence mix
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ lemon, thinly sliced

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the air fryer by selecting Roast at 400°F / 205°C and setting the time to 15 minutes.
  2. While the air fryer preheats, prepare the salmon. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and Herbs de Provence mix.

  6. When the air fryer displays the Turn Food prompt, open the basket and arrange the asparagus around the salmon. Close the basket and let the cooking cycle continue.
  7. Once the cooking cycle ends, remove the air fryer basket and let the salmon and asparagus rest for a couple of minutes.
  8. Serve the salmon fillets with asparagus evenly on each serving plate. Enjoy!
