Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer Salmon Bites
  1. Begin by cutting your salmon fillets into uniform bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. Pat the salmon bites dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine smoked paprika, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Toss the salmon pieces in the seasoning mixture, ensuring each bite is fully coated. Let the salmon sit for a few minutes.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Remove the salmon bites and let them cool slightly. Enjoy immediately, pairing with your choice of dips or in a salad.
