Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (preferably cremini or button mushrooms)
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Carrots:
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
- Toss the carrot strips with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the carrots in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Prepare the Salmon:
- While the carrots are cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a bit of smoked paprika.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In the same pan used for the salmon (or a separate one), add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Plate the salmon fillets and top with the sautéed mushrooms.
- Add the air-fried carrots on the side.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can drizzle some lemon juice over the salmon for extra flavor.
- Try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the mushrooms for a sweet tangy finish.
