These crispy air fryer salmon bites are quick, easy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prep. With a golden, crunchy crust and tender, flaky center, they are ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) skinless salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or avocado oil spray

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place salmon cubes in a medium bowl. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over top and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange salmon bites in a single layer, not touching.
  6. Lightly spray tops of salmon bites with oil. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 4 minutes.
  7. Flip each piece gently with tongs, spray the other side lightly, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Let rest in basket for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat the salmon extremely dry for maximum crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. For conventional oven, bake at 425°F (220°C) on a wire rack for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
