3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
When cooking the salmon, make sure to not overcrowd the baking sheet.
Cook the salmon in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
For maximum flavor, cook the shrimp sauce in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the mixed veggies and lemon zest towards the end of cooking.
This allows the flavors to meld together and the veggies to retain their texture.

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
