Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillet cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

  • chopped scallions or parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut the salmon into even 1-inch cubes and pat dry.

  • Place salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed.
