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.
