Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F if yours needs preheating.
- Cut salmon into bite-size cubes, around 1 to 1.5 inches, keeping similar sizes for even cooking.
- Toss salmon pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with cornstarch and toss again lightly.
Cooking
- Place salmon in a single layer in the basket, avoiding crowding.
- Air fry for 6 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket once halfway through. Cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
- Drizzle bang bang sauce over salmon bites or serve on the side for dipping.
Notes
For crispy bites, do not overcrowd the basket and season after cooking for the best texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
