I mean, isn’t the air fryer already busy crisping everything else under the sun? Anyway, one rainy Saturday morning with just a lonely egg in the fridge and zero patience …
First, Let Me Set the Scene If I’m being honest, sheet pan salmon and asparagus with potatoes is the exact kind of dinner I whip up when I’ve had one of those days. You know the kind—when the laundry’s multiplied, the dog tracked in mud, and my energy’s drifting south. My mum used to throw …
