## Prep notes
- Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.
- Pat salmon dry thoroughly to ensure crisp skin.

## Ingredients
- 600 g salmon fillets (4 fillets, skin-on)
- 450 g asparagus spears (woody ends trimmed)
- 30 ml olive oil (divided)
- 5 g kosher salt (divided)
- 2 g black pepper (divided)
- 60 g lemon (zested and sliced into rounds)
- 5 g fresh dill (chopped)

## Method
1. **Season Salmon and Asparagus**
  - **Season Salmon and Asparagus:** Toss asparagus with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub salmon with remaining oil, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and dill. · 5 minutes · Look for: Ingredients evenly coated in oil and seasonings.

2. **Air Fry Asparagus**


3. **Air Fry Salmon**


## Why it works
High heat in the air fryer renders the fat in the salmon skin quickly for crispness while circulating heat evenly around the asparagus.

## Failure modes
- Overcrowding the air fryer basket: Cook in batches if necessary so the salmon and asparagus roast rather than steam.
