Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz raw salmon skin removed, thawed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 lemon cut into wedges

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for about 3 minutes, or follow its preheating instructions. Pat the thawed salmon dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss the raw salmon cubes with oil, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika and pepper until coated.
  3. Arrange in one layer with space between the cubes. Cook for 6–8 minutes, gently turning after 4 minutes, until the thickest cubes reach 145°F. Use a thin probe thermometer inserted from the side.
  4. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Equipment: air fryer with room for two fillets, instant-read thermometer.
Serving size: half of the cooked salmon bites.
Times assume 12 ounces of raw salmon cut into 1-inch cubes in one layer with space between them. Cook in batches if needed and allow extra time. Cube size and air-fryer models affect timing; check the thickest cubes with a thermometer.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days. Reheat to 165°F.
Use raw salmon for this timing, not already-cooked leftovers.
