Air fryer salmon with warm potato salad

This is made possible by BBC Foods!

Ingredients

• 500g/1lb 2oz small new potatoes, larger ones halved
• 4 salmon fillets, approx. 150g/5½oz each, scaled
• 250g/9oz green beans (or thin-stemmed broccoli), trimmed
• 250g/9oz sugar snap peas (or mangetout)
• 1 long or 2 round shallots, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the glaze

• 3 tbsp runny honey
• 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard

Method

1. Half-fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil.

   1. Make sure to preheat the air fryer to 200C.

2. Meanwhile, for the glaze, mix together the honey and mustard in a medium–large mixing bowl.

3. Transfer half the glaze to a smaller container and season.

   1. When the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 7 minutes.

4. Line the air fryer basket with a piece of baking paper that covers the bottom and comes 2–4cm/about 1–1½in up the sides.

5. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the paper and brush the fillets with the seasoned honey-mustard glaze.

6. Air-fry for 6 minutes, then use a fork to check if the fish flakes in the thickest part; if not, cook for 1 minute more, or until cooked through.

7. When the potatoes have been boiling for 7 minutes, add the green beans and sugar snap peas and cook for a further 3–4 minutes.

   1. If using mangetout, add only for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.

8. Drain the vegetables well. Stir the shallot, vinegar and some seasoning into the reserved honey-mustard glaze.

9. Tip in the hot vegetables and gently stir to coat in the dressing.

10. Use the baking paper to help you lift the salmon from the air fryer and serve with the warm potato and vegetable salad.
