Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparing the potatoes: Steam the new potatoes first for 20 minutes in the airfryer with steam function. Then cut them into three pieces with skin. Mix with olive oil, pepper, salt, rosemary, and bay leaf.

Baking the potatoes: Remove the divider accessory from the airfryer and spread the potatoes out. Bake for 15 minutes at 195°C with the airfryer function until they are golden brown. Remove from the airfryer and keep warm.

Preparing the asparagus: Meanwhile, peel the white asparagus and cut off the hard ends. Break off the bottom piece of the green asparagus. Place them at the bottom of the airfryer.

Preparing the salmon Check the salmon for bones. Season with pepper and salt. Make light incisions in the fillet. Drizzle with olive oil and add dill. Massage well in.

Cooking the salmon & asparagus Place the salmon on top of the asparagus. Cook for 8 minutes at 200°C with steam fry (a combination of air fry + steam).

Making the ranch dressing: In the meantime, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and buttermilk. Add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, pepper, and salt. Stir until smooth dressing.

Serving: Scoop the salmon into 4 pieces. Serve on a platter with the asparagus and serve the potatoes alongside. Finish the dish with extra sprigs of parsley and lemon slices. Serve the ranch dressing alongside.

Tips

Let the salmon rest for a moment after cooking for extra juiciness.
Use fresh herbs for the dressing for maximum flavor.
Can also be made with other vegetables when asparagus season is over, broccoli or green beans.
Storage
