Tips & Tricks (5)

Salmon Skin Perfection 🐟
Pat the salmon skin dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness in the air fryer, preventing excess moisture that can make the skin soggy.
Asparagus Spacing Technique 🥬
Arrange asparagus in a single layer with slight gaps between spears to ensure even air circulation and consistent crispy texture in the air fryer.
Seasoning Layer Strategy 🧂
Create a custom seasoning blend by mixing Texas seasoning, garlic salt, and lemon pepper, then apply it generously and evenly to both salmon and asparagus for maximum flavor penetration.
Air Fryer Preheating Pro 🔥
Always preheat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes before adding salmon and asparagus to ensure immediate high-heat contact and perfect initial sear.
Moisture Lock Technique 💧
Lightly brush salmon with olive oil before seasoning to help create a protective moisture barrier that keeps the fish tender while allowing the exterior to crisp beautifully.
