Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skinless salmon filets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Pat the salmon filets dry and cut them into even 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the salmon cubes in this mixture.
  4. Place seasoned salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for about 4–5 minutes on one side.
