Preparation Steps
  1. Wash and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pat the salmon filets dry, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on top of the veggies in the air fryer basket.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir in corn starch and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Drizzle half of the glaze over the salmon and vegetables. Set the air fryer to 390°F and cook for 13-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
