Roasted Lemon Pepper Salmon with Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini
This recipe for Roasted Lemon Pepper Salmon with Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini is a quick and easy way to get a delicious and healthy meal on the table. The salmon is roasted in the air fryer until it is cooked through, and the asparagus and zucchini are grilled until they are tender. The lemon pepper seasoning gives the salmon a bright and tangy flavor, and the grilled vegetables add a touch of sweetness and crunch. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch.
This recipe is a variation on a classic salmon dish that I first had at a restaurant in San Francisco. The salmon was roasted in a wood-fired oven and served with grilled asparagus and zucchini. I was so impressed with the dish that I decided to recreate it at home. I experimented with different cooking methods and flavor combinations until I came up with this recipe. I think it is even better than the original dish, and it is much easier to make.
