These Air Fryer Salmon Bites are a delicious, quick, and healthy meal option. The salmon is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a savory seasoning that enhances its natural flavor. The air fryer method gives the salmon a beautiful golden crust without needing a lot of oil, making it a lighter, yet still satisfying dish.
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- While the air fryer heats up, prepare the salmon. Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, making sure the pieces are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- In a bowl, toss the salmon pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow the air to circulate for even cooking.
- Cook the salmon bites at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they cook evenly. The salmon should be golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the air fryer and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
