Season the salmon generously: Start by placing your salmon on a clean surface and patting it dry. Generously season each piece with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and Texas seasoning, making sure every inch is coated. This step builds that bold, savory flavor that makes this salmon recipe so memorable.

Prepare the asparagus in the air fryer basket: Place the trimmed asparagus evenly across the bottom of your air fryer basket. Drizzle or lightly spray olive oil over the asparagus so it stays tender during cooking and develops a slightly roasted finish.

Add seasoning to the asparagus: Sprinkle lemon pepper and garlic salt over the asparagus. Toss gently right in the fryer basket to make sure each piece is evenly coated with seasoning and olive oil.

Place the salmon on top of the asparagus: Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets directly on top of the asparagus in a single layer. This one pan style allows the flavors to blend while keeping everything easy and efficient.

Air fry until perfectly cooked: Set your air fryer to 350°F and air fry for 15 to 18 minutes. The cook time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon, but you’ll know it’s ready when the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the asparagus is tender.

Let everything rest for a minute or two, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving. Enjoy!
