Air Fryer Salmon and Asparagus for One
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (6 ounce) salmon fillet, thawed if frozen and patted dry
- pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
Directions
- In a small bowl, stir together honey, olive oil, mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to form a slightly thick sauce.
- Brush half of the marinade onto both sides of the salmon fillet, making sure it is evenly coated.
- Place the salmon fillet in the air fryer basket and air-fry at 400F (200C) for 4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, open the basket and arrange the asparagus around the salmon fillet, taking care not to cover the fish.
- Brush the remaining marinade over the asparagus and on top of the salmon fillet.
- Continue air-frying at 400F (200C) for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and the asparagus is tender.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed it. I will definitely be making it again. I cooked the salmon for approximately 8 minutes.

Extremely tender and juicy; simple to cook. My husband declared it the best salmon he's ever tasted!
