serving Suggestions
This broccoli and salmon in the air fryer recipe is great because there are so many different serving options! I typically eat this dish with rice.
Any grain would be great though, including quinoa, barley, farro, you name it. You could leave the grain out and just eat it as is if you’re doing Keto, too!
A side of roasted potatoes would be great, or even just more vegetables. You can even serve it with something more filling like this quinoa chickpea salad.
Recipe Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- Broccoli florets
- Dijon mustard
- Maple syrup
- Lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Soy sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
ingredient substitutions
Make this air fryer salmon gluten free by using tamari or coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce.
You can also substitute whatever vegetable you’d like here. Any cruciferous vegetable like cauliflower or brussels sprouts would be great.
Quartered tiny potatoes may work, though they may require a bit more time than the salmon so be mindful of that!
I like to season this air fried salmon simply with salt and pepper, but you can really up the flavor with different seasoning blends. One I like to do frequently is a mix of garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt.
How to make air Fryer Salmon and Veggies
Step 1: Prepare marinade
To begin, whisk together the dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, olive oil, and soy sauce. Whisk until a smooth even mixture remains.
Brush a generous layer of the marinade over the salmon. Then, toss the broccoli florets in the remaining marinade.
Step 2: Place in the Air Fryer and season
Next, place the salmon in a greased air fryer basket with the skin side down. Then, arrange the broccoli on the air fryer tray around the salmon.
Season both the salmon and the broccoli with salt and pepper or any seasonings you like.Then, place in a preheated air fryer at 400 F. Cook for 6 minutes, then toss the broccoli.
Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, until internal temperature of the salmon is at least 145 F. Be sure to check the salmon temperature at the thickest part of the fillet.
Serve immediately with choice of extra side! I like it with a simple side of white rice.
Storage and reheating
This dish is best served fresh and immediately, but it can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Simply reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through.
