Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds salmon fillets boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- Chili crisp oil (optional) for drizzling
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional) for garnish
- Sliced green onion (optional) for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the salmon pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon and gently toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
- When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon bites are golden and cooked through.
- Remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and drizzle with chili crisp oil, if desired.
- Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over rice, if desired.
Notes
Make sure the salmon pieces are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
