Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 18 oz salmon (use frozen, boneless and skinless filets)
  • 3/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp onion flakes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Thaw the salmon according to package directions.
  2. Pat the outside of the salmon dry with paper towels.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into one inch cubes.
  4. Whisk together all the seasonings until evenly combined.
  5. Pour the seasonings over the salmon bites in a medium bowl and gently toss them with a rubber spatula until they are evenly coated.
  6. Place the salmon bites into the air fryer basket in an even layer.
  7. Air fry the salmon at 400 degrees F for 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

- Ensure salmon is fully thawed before cutting for easier cubing.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- For extra crispiness, you can add a tiny bit more Old Bay seasoning.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like sriracha mayo or lemon aioli.
