Air fryer salmon bites
These air fryer salmon bites are a quick and delicious way to enjoy crispy, healthy salmon packed with flavor. Perfect for any meal, they combine garlic and lemon for a flavorful, nutritious option.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless salmon filet, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Step 1: Season the salmon. In a large bowl, combine the salmon cubes with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Step 2: Add the sauce. Pour the melted butter, lemon juice, and minced garlic over the salmon. Stir well, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- Step 3: Air fry the salmon. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or a liner to catch the sauce. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, with some space between them. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness. No need to shake or turn them!
- Step 4: Serve and enjoy. Plate the cooked salmon immediately, drizzling any remaining garlic butter sauce over the top. These bites are excellent on their own or served over salads, grain bowls, or roasted veggies.
