Ingredients :

• 1.5 lbs fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method :

1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel to ensure the seasoning sticks and the edges get crispy.
3. In a large bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Place the salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
5. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
6. Remove the salmon bites once they are opaque and golden brown, then garnish with fresh parsley and lemon juice.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Patting the salmon completely dry before adding oil is the secret to a restaurant-style crispy crust. Variation: Swap the paprika for taco seasoning for a delicious taco night twist. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
