Air Fryer Salmon Bites
These air-fryer salmon bites have quickly become my new favorite. They use less oil, stay incredibly moist, and are bursting with flavor. They are perfect for a summer picnic. I decided to get creative and whip up a Chick-fil-A-inspired sauce to go with them. The result? Amazing!
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
For the Salmon & Seasoning:
- ½ tbsp paprika powder
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ cup mayo
- ½ lb salmon cubed
For the Chick-fil-A Inspired Sauce:
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
For Garnish:
- Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Start by cubing your salmon into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- In a bowl, season the salmon with mayo, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne powder, oregano, and onion powder.
- Gently toss them to ensure each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
- Preheat your air fryer to 470°F. Place the salmon cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and coat them with a layer of mayo on the top.
- Broil for 5-6 minutes, flip each piece, and broil for another 3 minutes. The salmon should be crispy and cooked through.
- Chick-fil-A Inspired Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, mix together the mayo, BBQ sauce, yellow mustard, and honey in a small bowl.
- Once the salmon bites are done, transfer them to a serving plate. Drizzle a good amount of the sauce over the top of the salmon.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
