Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Instructions:

For the Salmon Bites:

  1. Prepare Salmon:
    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet on medium-high heat for stovetop cooking.
    • In a large bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Cook Salmon:
    • Oven Method: Place the salmon cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
    • Skillet Method: Heat a non-stick skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

  1. Sauté Garlic:
    • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
  2. Make the Cream Sauce:
    • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Finish the Sauce:
    • Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Stir in fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness (optional).

Serve:

  • Drizzle the garlic cream sauce over the salmon bites and serve with fresh lemon wedges. You can also pair this dish with rice, pasta, or a side of vegetables.
