Description
Indulgent salmon bites bursting with flavor, coated in a zesty lemon garlic butter sauce and cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Drop in the salmon bites, gently tossing them to ensure each piece is fully coated in the lemon-garlic butter mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for crispy perfection.
- Lay the coated salmon bites in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure an even golden-brown finish.
- Once cooked, remove and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
For best results, let salmon marinate in the lemon garlic sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
