Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb skinless fresh salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Salmon: Cut fresh salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces about 1 inch each to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season and Coat: In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Lightly spray the salmon pieces with olive oil spray, then toss them in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for approximately 3 minutes to ensure a crispy, golden exterior.
  4. Air Fry the Salmon Bites: Arrange the coated salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the salmon bites when golden and cooked through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut salmon into uniform pieces for consistent cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Use fresh salmon for best texture and flavor.
  • For extra crunch, pulse panko breadcrumbs briefly in a food processor before coating.
  • Avoid overcooking to keep salmon moist and tender inside.
