Notes

  • Frozen salmon can be used if fully thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, cook the salmon bites in the air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add sriracha or additional chili flakes for more heat.
  • Serve with rice, noodles, roasted vegetables, or fresh salad.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or air fryer to maintain crispness.
