Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- Fresh parsley and lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Start by patting your salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel. This is the secret to getting that perfect crispiness. Cut the salmon into uniform 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure every piece is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. Once hot, place the seasoned salmon cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching so the hot air can circulate around each piece. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, gently shake the basket to ensure all sides turn golden and crispy.
- Carefully remove the salmon bites from the air fryer using silicone-tipped tongs to avoid breaking them. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter or a bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges. The bright citrus juice cuts through the richness of the salmon perfectly.
