    🛒 Ingredients

    Salmon

    • 2 salmon fillets (about 120–150 g each)
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
    • ½ tsp smoked paprika
    • ½ tsp garlic powder

    Konjac Noodles & Vegetables

    • 1 package konjac noodles (about 200 g, drained)
    • 1 small zucchini, sliced
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 small carrot, julienned
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • Optional: chili flakes or fresh ginger

    👩‍🍳 Instructions

    1. Prepare the salmon
      Pat the salmon fillets dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
    2. Cook the salmon in the air fryer
      Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the salmon fillets inside and cook for 8–10 minutes, until flaky and lightly golden on top. Set aside.
    3. Prepare the konjac noodles
      Rinse the konjac noodles thoroughly under cold water, then drain well. This helps remove their natural aroma.
    4. Cook the vegetables
      Heat a pan over medium heat. Add sesame oil and garlic, cooking briefly until fragrant. Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until just tender but still crisp.
    5. Combine noodles and sauce
      Add the drained konjac noodles to the pan along with soy sauce and honey. Toss everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
    6. Serve
      Divide the noodles between plates and top with air fryer salmon. Sprinkle with chili flakes or fresh herbs if desired.

    📝 Notes & Tips

    • Konjac noodles are naturally low-carb and gluten-free.
