Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 1-2 inch cubes. You can use sharp kitchen shears or a knife and cutting board.
- Add the salmon chunks into a bowl. Add the oil and spices to the salmon then stir well.
- Transfer the salmon cubes to the air fryer. I like to put down a silicone liner or parchment paper liner into basket first. Be sure that the salmon is in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400F for 6 minutes.
Notes
Top tips
- I recommend using skinless salmon,
- If using skin-on salmon, be sure the skin is facing up during cooking.
- I recommend using a silicone liner or parchment paper to help ensure nothing sticks.
- Use silicone tipped tongs or a silicone spatula to avoid scratching the air fryer basket.
- To double the recipe, cook in 2 batches. The second batch may be done in 5 minutes so keep an eye on it.
- Fridge: in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the air fryer at 375 for 3-4 minutes or serve cold or at room temperature.
- Freezer: Not recommended
