Place the salmon cubes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 3 minutes.
Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until crispy and golden.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving if desired.
Serving and storage tips:
Serve hot with a dipping sauce like garlic mayo, tzatziki, or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Great as a snack, over rice bowls, or with a salad.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes to maintain crispiness.
Variations:
Use Cajun or curry seasoning instead of paprika for a flavor twist.
Add a teaspoon of honey to the marinade for a slightly sweet glaze.
Swap salmon for tofu or chicken for a different protein option.
FAQ:
Can I use frozen salmon? Yes, thaw it completely and pat dry before seasoning.
Can I bake these instead of air frying? Yes, bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15–18 minutes.
Is skin-on salmon okay? You can use it, but skinless works better for even crisping.
Do I need to flip the bites? Shaking the basket once during cooking is enough.
