1. Prepare the Salmon:
  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Season Salmon: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon pieces and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
2. Cook the Salmon Bites:
  1. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  2. Air Fry: Cook the salmon bites at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The salmon should be cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
3. Make the Dipping Sauce (Optional):
  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve.
4. Serve:
  1. Garnish: Once the salmon bites are cooked, transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
  2. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the salmon bites hot with the optional dipping sauce on the side.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Salmon Bites:

  • Even Cooking: Make sure the salmon pieces are of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Oil Coating: A light coating of oil helps the salmon bites to crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
  • Internal Temperature: Check the internal temperature of the salmon bites to ensure they reach at least 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
  • Dipping Sauce Variations: Feel free to experiment with different dipping sauces, such as a spicy mayo, tartar sauce, or a simple lemon butter sauce.
