Main Ingredients
  • 4 Salmon Fillets (6 oz), skin-on or skinless
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon 1/2 sliced, 1/2 for juice
Seasoning Blend
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried Dill
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Vegetables
  • 1 lb Asparagus trimmed
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Small Bowl
  • Air Fryer
  • Oven-Safe Skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook grains and chop vegetables for meal prep, storing them in airtight containers.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
  3. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with a mixture of garlic powder, smoked paprika, dill, salt, and pepper; add lemon slices if desired.
Cooking (Oven Roasting)
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the seasoned salmon on the baking sheet, arranging vegetables around it, and roast for 12-18 minutes until cooked through.
Cooking (Air Fryer)
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and air fry the salmon for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked.
Cooking (Stovetop Searing)
  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until crispy, then flip and transfer to a preheated oven (400°F/200°C) for another 5-10 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve the cooked salmon immediately with prepped grains and vegetables, finishing with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Notes

Meal prepping grains and chopping vegetables beforehand significantly reduces active cooking time. Ensure salmon is fully cooked but not overdone for the best texture.
