• Seasoning:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or thyme)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
• Vegetables:
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:

• Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Coat them lightly with olive oil and season with garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.

2. Preheat the Air Fryer:

• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

3. Cook the Vegetables:

• Add the seasoned vegetables to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even cooking.

4. Add the Salmon:

• Move the vegetables to the sides of the air fryer basket and place the salmon fillets in the center, skin-side down (if using skin-on).
• Continue cooking at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Finish and Serve:
