🌡️ 400°F (200°C)

Ingredients

  • 🐟Salmon fillets(2 (6 oz each))
  • 🍤Shrimp (peeled and deveined)(1 lb)
  • 🧂Olive oil(2 tablespoons)
  • 🧄Garlic powder(1 teaspoon)
  • 🌶️Paprika(1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. 1.Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2.In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  3. 3.Add the salmon fillets and shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. 4.Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, and arrange the shrimp around them in a single layer.
  5. 5.Cook in the air fryer for 8 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through for even cooking.
