Quick Answer
You can cook salmon fillets and broccoli together in the air fryer at 400°F in about 12–14 minutes. Add broccoli first for 4–5 minutes, then add the salmon and cook together for the remaining time. The result is a complete, healthy dinner from a single basket.

Salmon and broccoli cook at similar temperatures but broccoli needs a few extra minutes to char and tenderize. Staggering the start times means both components finish at the same moment. Both benefit from the same seasonings — garlic, lemon, and olive oil work beautifully for each.
Cut broccoli into similar-sized florets for even cooking. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Season the broccoli the same way or with a slightly heavier hand — it can handle bolder seasoning.
Preheat to 400°F. Add broccoli to the basket and cook for 4–5 minutes. Then push broccoli to the sides and add salmon fillets skin-side down in the center. Cook together for 10–12 minutes until salmon reaches 145°F and flakes easily, and broccoli is tender with charred edges.
Squeeze fresh lemon over everything before serving. This dish is complete on its own or served over rice, quinoa, or noodles. It is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it one of the healthiest air fryer meals you can prepare in under 20 minutes.
