Easy Air Fryer Salmon Bites
My easy air fryer salmon bites are roasted and flaky and served with a simple, savory, and spicy sauce, perfect for dinner or even as an appetizer!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Sriracha Dip
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½-1 tablespoon sriracha or ketchup
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into even 1-1.5-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
- Drizzle the oil and lemon juice over the salmon and sprinkle it with the seasoning. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to toss everything together, coating the bites completely.
- Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, air frying them for 7-10 minutes, flipping once until they're fully cooked.
- While the fish is cooking, combine the mayo, sriracha, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small mixing bowl and whisk until it's fully combined.
Notes
- Mix the salmon gently after adding the spices so it doesn't break up the fish.
- If there’s excess moisture on the salmon, pat it dry with a paper towel before adding the oil and seasonings.
- Cut the salmon into even 1-inch cubes so everything cooks at the same rate.
- Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed.
- Flip them halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 390 degrees F for 3-4 minutes until they're heated through.
