Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

Salmon Bites

  • 8 oz Salmon filet (skin removed and cut into 1" cubes )
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garlic Cream Sauce

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (about 3 cloves, minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380° F.
  • Pat your salmon filet dry with paper towels and use a sharp knife to cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until all the salmon cubes are coated in the seasoning.
  • Coat your air fryer basket with olive oil, or spray with nonstick spray. Place the salmon bites in an even layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 380° degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 minutes. The salmon cubes are ready when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. I like to check the internal temperature of my salmon with a meat thermometer.
  • While the salmon bites are air frying, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add minced garlic to it. Saute the garlic and pour in heavy cream.
  • Stir and simmer the sauce until it thickens to your preferred consistency.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat and add in the chopped parsley then set it aside.
  • Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the seasoned salmon bites and enjoy!
