Grilled Salmon and Air Fryer Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 x salmon fillets (280 grams)
  • Half a lemon
  • Salt & Pepper (if you teen enjoys spice, use 1/2 teaspoon Ras El Hanout or 1/2 teaspoon Harissa paste instead)
  • 6 x baby potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Ina Parmann’s Potato Spice. (From South African shops). Or, use local potato seasoning alternative or just salt, pepper and garlic powder)
  • 4 x large broccoli florets

Method

Potatoes will take longer than the Salmon & broccoli to cook, so start with the carb first.

  1. Halve the potatoes, and mix in a bowl with olive oil and the seasoning you choose. Start them in the air fryer basket at 190 degrees. This portion size will take 15-20 min to cook. Alternatively, my Potato Medley recipe provides more options and larger quantity.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 190 degrees celcius for fan-assisted ovens (you want it quite hot).
  3. Prepare & season the Salmon. Ensure fish is clean/deboned, and pat dry with kitchen towel. Line a baking tray with parchment/baking paper to ensure fish doesn’t stick when cooking. Lay fish skin-side down. Squeeze over juice from half a lemon. Add seasoning, from simply a grinding of salt & pepper, to any spice variation your teen enjoys. (Note: Grilling salmon this way means you’ll discard the skin as it contains a high fat content which hasn’t been rendered) Place in a hot oven, and grill for 8 minutes.
  4. While Salmon is cooking, steam your broccoli till just cooked.
