This fresh and simple salmon comes together in just under 30 minutes for a healthy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 skinless salmon fillets , about 200g each
- 1 tsp black or toasted sesame seeds , optional
- 1 454-g package mini bell peppers , halved and seeded
- 1 340-g package cauliflower florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp five-spice powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro , optional
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 390F.
- Stir maple syrup with soy sauce, Dijon and garlic powder in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened into a glaze-like consistency, 2 to 4 min. Brush hot glaze over salmon fillets. Set aside.
- Toss bell peppers and cauliflower with oil, five-spice powder and salt in a large bowl. Add to air-fryer basket. Air-fry until golden brown but still tender-crisp, 7 to 10 min. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with cilantro, if desired.
- Arrange salmon in air-fryer basket. Air-fry until a knife tip inserted into the thickest part of the salmon comes out warm, 7 to 8 min. Transfer to the platter with vegetables. Sprinkle salmon with sesame seeds and serve with rice or quinoa, if desired.
