- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
Instructions

- Cook salmon in air fryer at 400F for 6 minutes (or you can bake in a 425F oven for 9-10 minutes)
- When the salmon is done cooking, pour the buffalo sauce over the top.¼ cup buffalo sauce
Notes
- Toss the salmon with a little oil first. Coating the salmon with a small amount of olive oil helps the seasoning stick and prevents the salmon from sticking to the air fryer basket.
- Add the buffalo sauce after cooking. Cook the salmon first, then toss it with buffalo sauce. This keeps the salmon from burning and gives the bites the best texture.
- Use skinless salmon if possible. Skinless salmon is recommended since it's hard to take the skin off the small pieces of salmon after cooking.
