Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Bites
  • 1 lb Salmon skinless, farm-raised or wild for best flavor
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin for extra richness
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan freshly grated gives the best texture
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder can swap for minced fresh garlic if preferred
  • 1 tsp Paprika feel free to skip for a milder taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground packs more aromatic punch
  • 1/4 tsp Salt season to your liking
  • Scallions use as a fresh garnish for color and flavor enhancement

Method
 

Steps to Prepare
  1. Pat Dry: Start by ensuring your salmon pieces are nice and dry. Use paper towels to gently pat them, which helps the crust to adhere beautifully and get perfectly crispy.
  2. Mix Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended to create a flavorful crust that will elevate your salmon bites.
  3. Coat Salmon: Toss the dried salmon pieces in olive oil, making sure they're evenly coated. Then, sprinkle over the Parmesan mixture, gently combining until each piece is lavishly covered.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Carefully arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded for that gloriously crisp finish.
  5. Air Fry: Set your air fryer to 380°F and cook for 8 minutes. Give the basket a little shake halfway through to promote even cooking.
  6. Serve: Once they're beautifully golden, transfer the salmon bites to a serving plate. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions for that pop of color and fresh flavor, then serve immediately.
