Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Salmon Fillet cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Gluten-Free Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare the Salmon
    In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon pieces with Olive Oil, Soy Sauce, Garlic Powder, Ginger Powder, Salt, and Pepper. Make sure each piece is well coated.
  • 2. Coat with Panko
    Add the Panko Breadcrumbs and Sesame Seeds to the bowl. Mix well until the salmon pieces are fully coated with the crunchy mixture.
  • 3. Preheat the Air Fryer
    Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This step ensures the salmon bites cook evenly.
  • 4. Arrange in the Air Fryer
    Lightly spray the air fryer basket with Cooking Spray. Place the coated salmon bites in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to make sure they get crispy.
  • 5. Cook the Salmon Bites
    Cook for 8-10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • 6. Serve and Enjoy
    Once cooked, remove the salmon bites and serve them right away. They taste best hot and crispy! Enjoy them as is or with your favorite dipping sauce.
