- Stir together the final teaspoon of olive oil with the honey, lemon juice, remaining lemon zest, thyme, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Brush evenly over the salmon fillets. Reserve.
- When the potatoes are finished, transfer to a bowl or platter. Tent lightly with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add the asparagus to the basket and place in the Air Fryer. Select the Vegetables preset and adjust the cooking time to 8 minutes. Press Start/Stop. When finished, transfer to the dish with the potatoes.
- Add the salmon to the basket, and place in the Air Fryer. Select Air Fry, and set the time to 10 minutes and the temperature to 375°F. Select Toss Reminder and press Start/Stop.
- Once the salmon is finished cooking, serve with the potatoes and asparagus.
