Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Tips for success

Don't thaw the broccoli before cooking: they roast better straight from the freezer.
Place the salmon on the sides of the basket so it cooks without crushing the vegetables.
Check doneness with a fork: the salmon should remain pink in the center.

Quick variations

Replace the broccoli with a mix of frozen vegetables (green beans, zucchini, carrots).
Add a touch of curry or herbes de Provence for different flavors.
You can also replace the salmon with marinated chicken fillet for an economical alternative.
