Ingredients
  

Salmon Bites

  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces Approx. 450 g
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped Optional: Additional fresh herbs for garnish
  • 1 each lemon wedges for serving Optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Begin by cutting the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces, roughly 1-inch cubes. Place them in a mixing bowl.
  • In the bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the salmon. Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold to coat the salmon evenly.
  • Add the fresh lemon juice and herbs to the bowl, tossing until everything is well combined.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Cooking

  • Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook the salmon bites for about 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness halfway through.
  • Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute.

Serving

  • Serve hot, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of extra herbs.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a dash of cayenne pepper or your favorite hot seasoning. Ensure your salmon is fresh for best flavor. These bites pair wonderfully with a yogurt dip or a fresh green salad.
