SALSA
Two large roasted jarred peppers (120g)
One heaped teaspoon capers
Two anchovy fillets
½ a bunch of basil (15g)
½ a small clove of garlic
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ a lemon
extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Pour the wine and a tablespoon of olive oil into the bottom of the larger air-fryer drawer. Prepare the broccoli by trimming it and add it to the drawer. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and add them as well, followed by the trimmed green beans. It's important to follow this order to ensure everything cooks perfectly.
Score the salmon fillets by making lengthwise cuts into the skin about 1 cm deep. Season the cuts with sea salt and black pepper, then stuff them with herbs and a bit of lemon zest. Rub the fillets with a little olive oil, and place the fish on top of the green vegetables, skin-side up.
Drain the canned potatoes and place them on a cutting board, slicing any larger ones in half. Slice half a lemon into rounds, drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon rounds to the smaller drawer and sprinkle with rosemary if desired.
Set the air fryer to sync mode, cooking the potatoes for 12 minutes and the salmon for 8 minutes, both at 200ºC.
On a cutting board, place the peppers, capers, and anchovies. Add basil leaves and a sliver of peeled garlic. Chop everything very finely until it's well mixed. Add mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, then mix thoroughly and transfer to a serving bowl.
To serve, divide the lemony potatoes among the plates, add the green vegetables, and top with the salmon, drizzling with some of the juices from the larger drawer. Finish with a dollop of the finely chopped salsa.
