Ingredients

  1. 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
    1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1 large egg, beaten
    Cooking spray or oil for air fryer basket

Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

  1. In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dip salmon pieces into beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with oil.
  4. Place salmon bites in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not touching.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
