Preparation
Boil the couscous
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the couscous; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 8 to 10 min., until tender.
- Drain and rinse.
- Return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping; season with S&P.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans.
- Juice the orange.

Fry the green beans
- In a medium bowl, combine the green beans, ½ the garlic, a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Add to the air fryer and fry, 4 to 6 min., until tender.
- Transfer to a plate.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the almonds and remaining garlic. Toast, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant.
- Add the orange juice, orange sauce, 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined and beginning to thicken.
Fry the salmon
- Pat the salmon* dry and rub with a drizzle of oil; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Place in the air fryer and fry, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked as desired.
Plate your dish
