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.
