Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Salmon with Asparagus is super delicious and flavorful!
I’ve got another fabulous, healthy meal all made in the air fryer today!
Well, it does have a small amount of butter, so maybe we will go with healthy-ish on this one.
Two salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each, and a half pound of asparagus was our perfect dinner for two.

Brush the remaining lemon garlic butter over the salmon and asparagus.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the air fryer (optional to top with lemon slices) and set it to 400 degrees for 4 minutes.
Add the asparagus to the air fryer with the salmon and cook for 9 more minutes at 400 degrees.
Serve the salmon and asparagus with the remaining lemon garlic butter.
Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Salmon and Asparagus comes out beautifully cooked!
Serve with the extra lemon garlic butter for dipping, or just drizzle more over top.
SO good!
The air fryer is my all time favorite way to make salmon…it comes out perfect each and every time!
And lucky for me my family loves salmon and asparagus for dinner so this one was a no complaint dinner.
