Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Description
Air Fryer Salmon Bites are made by cutting salmon into one-inch cubes, seasoned with low sodium soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil for a balanced savory base. The salmon is then air fried at a high temperature to achieve a crispy outside while maintaining a tender interior. Meanwhile, a creamy garlic sauce is prepared by sautéing garlic in butter, simmering white wine to reduce, and then combining heavy cream and parmesan cheese to create a thick, flavorful accompaniment. Lemon juice adds brightness to the sauce, rounding out the flavor profile.
The salmon bites can be served as a main or appetizer, pairing well with steamed vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to enjoy the sauce fully. The creamy garlic sauce is integral, lending a smooth texture and umami depth that complements the salmon's natural taste.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- ½ teaspoon black pepper minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup white wine dry
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Prep the salmon. Pat dry the salmon bites with paper towels, this will ensure the salmon will get nice and crispy. Toss the salmon pieces with the soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder and olive oil. Spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray.
- Air fry the salmon. Place the salmon bites into the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes at 390°F flipping over half way through, or simply just shaking the basket a couple times.
- Make the creamy garlic sauce. While salmon is cooking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the white wine (or chicken broth) and cook for another minute until most of the wine has reduced.
- Finish the sauce. Reduce the heat to low-medium, add the cream to the saucepan and bring to a simmer, while stirring occasionally. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and simmer until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Add the lemon juice and parsley and stir. Taste for seasoning and season with salt and pepper as needed. I mixed my lemon juice with a couple teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce a bit, but this step is totally optional.
- Plate and serve. Serve the salmon bites with the creamy garlic sauce drizzled over along some rice and steamed veggies.
