Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

For the Vegetables:

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

      - Carefully place the salmon fillets in this marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let the salmon marinate for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

        Prepare the Vegetables:

          - In another bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red bell pepper slices, and zucchini.

            - Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated.

              Preheat the Air Fryer:

                - Set your air fryer to preheat to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you finish preparing the meal.

                  Cook the Vegetables:

                    - Once preheated, place the seasoned vegetables into the air fryer basket.

                      - Cook for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.

                        Cook the Salmon:

                          - After the vegetables have been cooking for about 8 minutes, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets on top of the vegetables in the air fryer basket.

                            - Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets, adjust as necessary.)

                              Serve:

                                - Once everything is cooked, remove the basket from the air fryer.

                                  - Sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon for garnish and arrange the salmon alongside the roasted vegetables on plates.

                                    - Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for a flavorful finish.

                                      Enjoy Your Meal:

                                        - Serve your delicious creation immediately, ideally accompanied by steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the rich soy glaze!
