Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Remove the skin if desired, then cut the salmon into evenly sized bite-sized cubes.
  2. Place the salmon cubes in a large mixing bowl and handle them gently.
  3. Drizzle enough olive oil over the salmon to lightly coat the pieces.
  4. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and seafood seasoning. Toss gently until every piece is coated.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F / 200°C for a few minutes.
  6. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between them. Cook in batches if needed.
  7. Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket or gently turning the pieces halfway through cooking.
  8. Check that the salmon is golden outside, cooked through, and flakes easily with a fork. Add 1–2 extra minutes if the pieces are larger.
  9. Remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. You can also add extra black pepper, a little garlic butter, or a light drizzle of sauce.
  11. Serve warm with dipping sauce, rice, vegetables, salad, or wraps.
