Instructions

Let the salmon fillets come to room temperature for about 10 minutes and pat dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Trim the loose leaves from the brussels sprouts.
Cut the broccoli into florets and trim the stalk into small even pieces.
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, onion, and brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp of olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the vegetables in the bottom basket of an air fryer at 450°F for 20 minutes. Shake halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Place the salmon fillets on the top layer, skin-side down. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes, flipping the fillets skin-side up halfway through.
For extra crispy skin, finish the salmon by switching to broil mode for 2 minutes.
Optionally, prepare a dressing by whisking together the dijon mustard, soy sauce, and the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil. Toss with the roasted vegetables before serving.
Serve the salmon with the roasted vegetables on the side.
