Instructions
Make the Salmon
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine, olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, freshly chopped Italian parsley, minced garlic, salt and black pepper. Whisk well and set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Leave the skin on. Brush the salmon with the garlic Dijon marinade. Make sure it is well coated.
- Spray the inside of the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray. Add the prepared salmon to the air fryer (skin side down) and cook for 11-12 minutes at 400 degrees. This will give you a medium well temperature on the salmon. Cooking time will also vary based on the thickness of your fish. Remove the salmon from the air fryer (option to remove the skin).
Make the Sautéed Vegetables
- While the salmon is air frying, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, (but not smoking) add the diced onion and thinly sliced garlic.
- Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini and corn kernels. Season everything with salt and black pepper. Once the vegetables have softened add fresh squeezed lemon juice and butter to the pan. Toss until the butter is melted and everything is well coated.
Assemble the Dish
- Add your favorite greens to the bottom of your plate. Next, add one of the salmon fillets. Top with the vegetable sauté and fresh basil chiffonade. Serve hot and enjoy.
