Directions
- Step 1
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, shallot and lemon zest. Heat in the microwave oven for 45 seconds or until the butter has melted.

- In another bowl, coat the broccoli wedges with 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the melted butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

- Place the broccoli in the basket of an air fryer. Cook for 6 minutes at 400°F (200°C) or until nicely browned. Remove the broccoli from the air fryer and set aside in the same bowl.
- Step 4
- Meanwhile, in the bowl with the remaining butter mixture, add the sesame seeds and panko. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 5
- Line the basket of the air fryer with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Place the salmon in the basket, skin-side down and evenly spaced out. Season with salt. Top the salmon with the panko mixture, pressing down lightly. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C) or until the desired doneness. Remove the salmon from the air fryer and place on plates.
- Step 6
- Reheat the broccoli in the air fryer for 1 minute at 350°F (180°C). Transfer the broccoli to the plates of chicken. Serve with lemon wedges.
