Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer at 300°F for 2-3 minutes to maintain texture. Variations: Swap asparagus for broccoli florets or green beans (adjust cooking time slightly). Season salmon with paprika or dried dill for a different flavor profile.
