Let’s be real—sometimes a handful of nuts just doesn’t hit the spot. You’re craving something warm, flavorful, and satisfying... but still light enough to call it a snack. That’s exactly where these air-fried salmon bites come in. Quick to make, packed with protein, and loaded with flavor—this is your new go-to.
🔥 Let’s talk sauce first (because it’s everything):
-
About ½ cup of mayo
-
¼ to ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce (depending on how sweet you like it)
-
2 tablespoons of sriracha for that slow heat
-
2 tablespoons of sour cream to give it a creamy, thick finish
Mix it up until smooth—it should be rich, tangy, a little spicy, and absolutely addicting.
🐟 Now for the salmon:
Start with 1¼ pounds of fresh salmon, cut into perfect bite-sized cubes. Then season generously:
-
Smoked paprika for depth
-
Onion powder
-
Garlic parmesan seasoning
-
A pinch of black pepper
-
And a drizzle of avocado oil to help it crisp up
Pop everything into your air fryer at 400°F (about 200°C) for 7 minutes—just enough to get that golden edge while keeping the inside juicy.
