Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Description
The salmon is cut into uniform 1-inch cubes and coated with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, which adds subtle smokiness and seasoning. The air fryer cooks them at 350°F for 6-7 minutes, tossing halfway to promote even cooking and a light crust, while preserving a tender interior that flakes easily.
The remoulade sauce complements the fish with a rich blend of mayonnaise, stone-ground mustard, horseradish, celery seed, onion powder, and mild heat from cayenne and paprika. Chilling the sauce for at least 30 minutes melds the flavors before serving.
These salmon bites work well as appetizers or snacks served with the cool, tangy remoulade. Preparation elements like removing skin and seasoning in advance simplify cooking. The recipe suggests alternative sauces like tartar or hot honey for variation.
