Instructions

Step 1
Place the salmon in drawer 1 of the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer. Turn the unit on, select “1”, then the "AIR FRY" function. Set the temperature to 200, and the time to 8-12 minutes depending on the size of the fish

Step 4
Press "Sync" followed by "Start"

Step 5
When the butternut squash mix in drawer 2 has 4 minutes left, add the asparagus in to drawer 2

While that's cooking, mix together the pesto ingredients. When there's 2 minutes remaining on the cook time, brush the top of the salmon fillets with the pesto mix
