- With a side: Serve with homemade mashed potatoes or crispy truffle fries.
Recipe FAQs
Whether your salmon has skin or not is entirely up to you and your personal preference!
If you prefer a crispier salmon, use the last few minutes of cooking time and put the oven on broil. Keep an eye on the pan so that nothing burns!
You can absolutely make this salmon and shrimp in the air fryer! Add the salmon and asparagus to the air fryer at 400°F and cook for 4 minutes before adding the shrimp. Keep an eye on the fish and shrimp by checking after 5 additional minutes.
For the best reading, use an instant-read meat thermometer! The salmon should be at least 145°F in the thickest part. The shrimp is fully cooked once it is no longer translucent.
