Instructions

1
Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 3 minutes.
2
While it heats, scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water and cut them into even 3/4-inch cubes on the cutting board.
3
Toss the cubes in a large mixing bowl with oil and salt until every side is glossy.
4
Spread the sweet potatoes in the hot basket and air fry at 400 F for 10 minutes, shaking halfway, until the edges start to brown.
5
While they cook, cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch half-moons and toss them in the same bowl with oil and salt.
6
Finely grate the garlic and ginger into a small microwave-safe bowl, then whisk in soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
7
Microwave the glaze on high for 45 to 60 seconds until it bubbles up and turns slightly syrupy, then stir.
8
Shake the basket, scatter the zucchini over the sweet potatoes, and air fry 8 minutes more, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender with browned corners and the zucchini has golden spots.
9
While the vegetables finish, pat the salmon dry, set it skin-side down on a plate, and rub the tops with oil and black pepper.
10
Tip the vegetables onto a serving platter and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
11
Set the salmon skin-side down in the empty basket and spoon half the glaze over the tops, keeping the rest in the bowl for serving.
12
Air fry at 380 F for 8 to 10 minutes until the glaze turns sticky and amber at the edges and the thickest part reads 125 to 130 F, flaking but still slightly translucent in the very center.
13
While the salmon cooks, thinly slice the green onions on the cutting board.
14
Lift the salmon onto the platter with a fish spatula and let it rest 2 minutes; it climbs a few degrees as it sits.
15
Drizzle the reserved glaze over the salmon and vegetables, then scatter with sesame seeds and green onions.
