Ingredients

For the Salmon

16 oz Salmon Filets Fresh, tender salmon filets serve as the star of this dish.
2 tbsp Olive Oil Helps achieve that perfect crispy crust while keeping the salmon moist.
2 tbsp Garlic Butter Creamy and fragrant, enhances the flavor.
2 tsp Lemon Juice Adds a zesty finish that brightens the flavor.

For Seasoning

1 tsp 24 Herbs Sprinkle Seasoning (Salt-free) Brings life to the salmon without overwhelming its natural taste.
1/4 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt (fine) Enhances flavors without masking them.
1/4 tsp Black Pepper Adds a mild heat and bite.
1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika Introduces a subtle smoky flavor.

Method

Preparation

Start by drying your salmon filets with a paper towel, ensuring they are moisture-free.
Gently run your hand over the surface of the fish to check for any bones and remove them if necessary.
Chop the salmon into bite-sized pieces for better cooking and flavor absorption.

Seasoning

In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon bites with olive oil, the 24 herbs sprinkle, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure the fish is uniformly coated in the aromatic mixture.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the seasoned salmon bites in the basket in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Start checking at the 5-minute mark and increase cooking time by 1 minute if needed, until they are done.

Serving

In the meantime, melt the garlic butter in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.
Once melted, stir in the lemon juice to create a zesty butter sauce.
Drizzle the garlic lemon sauce over the top of the salmon bites and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking. Feel free to customize the spices based on your preferences.
