Fry the Brussels sprouts

- Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.
Fry & glaze the salmon

- Place on a small piece of parchment paper in the air fryer and fry, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked as desired.
- Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and fry, 1 min., until glazed.
Dress the orzo

Plate your dish
