For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill or a lemon wedge. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add a touch more honey to the marinade. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets or green beans, for the asparagus. Ensure the salmon fillet is of even thickness for consistent cooking. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon fillet and your air fryer model.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the honey, olive oil, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified. (2 minutes)
02
StepBrush approximately half of the marinade generously over both sides of the salmon fillet. Place the marinated salmon fillet skin-side down into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes.
03
StepCarefully open the air fryer basket and arrange the trimmed asparagus spears around the salmon fillet, ensuring they don't overlap excessively. Brush the remaining marinade evenly over the asparagus and the top of the salmon fillet. (2 minutes)
04
StepContinue air frying at 400°F (200°C) until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 6 to 7 minutes more. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
05
StepCarefully remove the salmon and asparagus from the air fryer. Serve immediately and enjoy!
