Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Report
These Air Fryer Salmon Bites are the perfect protein-packed addition to salads and bowls. They cook in just 5 minutes and taste like they came from a restaurant.

Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon (boneless & skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- If you haven't removed the skin from the salmon filet, use a sharp knife to carefully cut it away. (You can ask the butcher at a counter to do this when you buy it.) Cut the salmon into roughly 1-inch chunks, removing any pin bones you see along the way.
- Transfer the salmon chunks to a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Add the salt, garlic powder, paprika, coconut sugar, and black pepper, then stir well.
- Arrange the seasoned salmon pieces in a single layer in your air fryer basket. (You can cook this in two batches if you need to.) Cook for 400ºF for 5 minutes, then check the largest piece in your air fryer basket to make sure the salmon looks opaque inside and easily flakes with a fork. You can return the basket to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, if needed.
- Serve the salmon bites warm right away for the best flavor and texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 400ºF for 2 minutes.
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 4 ounces of salmon (1/4 of this recipe) with the seasonings. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Seasoning Note: This seasoning combo is my favorite, so I recommend trying it as written. It's not too smoky, sweet, or salty. With that being said, keep in mind that the seasoning may need to change if you make adjustments. If you omit the sugar, you may need to use less salt, too. Brown sugar tastes sweeter than coconut sugar, so if you only have that in your pantry, you may need just two teaspoons instead of a whole tablespoon.
- Air Fryer Note: I tested this recipe with this Phillips Air Fryer (affiliate link). It doesn't require preheating, so the cooking cycle starts right away. Pay attention to whether your air fryer will preheat first (before the timer starts), as you don't want the salmon to cook in your air fryer much longer than the 5-minute cycle.
