Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Bites:

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Garlic Cream Sauce:

½ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon Bites:

    - In a large bowl, combine the salmon pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all pieces are well-coated.

      Air Fry the Salmon:

        - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

          - Place the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).

            - Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until the salmon is cooked through and crispy on the outside.

              Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:

                - While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill.

                  - Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste.

                    Serve:

                      - Once the salmon bites are ready, transfer them to a serving platter.

                        - Drizzle the garlic cream sauce over the salmon bites or serve on the side for dipping.

                          - Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

                            Enjoy:

                              - Serve hot with your choice of sides like a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or rice. Enjoy your delicious air fryer salmon bites!
