This salmon can be paired with so many different sides! I love serving it with a grain and a veggie, but feel free to get creative! Here are some ideas:

Rice: Brown rice, quinoa or cauliflower rice. Salad: Pair it with my garlicky kale salad, this arugula salad or even my farro salad (another favorite for my kiddos).

This salmon works great as a meal prep recipe! Just prepare and cook the salmon as directed below, then let it cool slightly before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You’ll have perfectly cooked and delicious salmon to eat any night (or day!) of the week. To reheat, add salmon to a skillet over medium heat until warm throughout or pop back in the air fryer for a few minutes. Just be careful not to overcook so that it doesn’t dry out.
