05/08/2025 by Nathaniel Lee

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (such as broccoli florets, zucchini slices, or bell pepper strips)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Meanwhile, pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and set them aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper to form a citrusy, aromatic marinade.

Place your chosen veggies in a mixing bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade over the vegetables, tossing gently until all pieces are coated. Arrange the veggies in the bottom of your air fryer basket, then place the salmon fillets on top, skin side down. Brush the remaining marinade over the salmon, ensuring you’re covering it evenly for that zesty punch.

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 10–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the veggies are tender and lightly browned. Serve your salmon straight from the air fryer with a final squeeze of fresh lemon.

This recipe is a quick, healthy option that satisfies your seafood craving while keeping cleanup to a minimum. Perfect for busy weeknights or a laid-back weekend meal, it suits those looking to embrace a clean-eating lifestyle with bold, bright flavors. Feel free to experiment with different veggies—Brussels sprouts or asparagus spears work beautifully. You can also swap salmon for another flaky fish or use chicken breast instead. With an air fryer, it’s a breeze to stay on track with your health goals while still savoring every bite.
