A healthy and delicious meal featuring perfectly cooked air fryer salmon paired with sautéed Swiss chard, seasoned simply for maximum flavor and minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale

2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 bunch Swiss chard (about 8 ounces), stems removed and leaves chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
Brush the salmon fillets evenly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon cooks, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves to the skillet, season with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until wilted and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Serve the air fryer salmon fillets alongside the sautéed Swiss chard.
