Ingredients

1 lb. salmon (see note 1)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cornstarch

3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)

2-3 teaspoons avocado or olive oil

Directions

Prep the salmon

Remove the skin from your salmon, if it has skin. Pat with paper towels so the surface is mostly dry. Cut your salmon into cubes, 1 to 2 inches each (see photo).

Prep the spices

Mix the spices together in a small bowl.

Toss salmon with spices

Toss your salmon cubes in the spices and oil – I usually use my hands to mix it all together.

Air fry the salmon

Place your salmon pieces in the air fryer (I just dump them right in) and spread them out a bit so they’re not laying all over each other. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes!

You're Done! Yum!

At this point it should be textured and golden on the outside, and juicy and delicious on the inside. When you press each piece with a fork, they should easily flake / slip apart with a buttery, juicy texture inside. (You can do 6-7 minutes if you prefer more of a medium doneness.)
