# Instructions:
01 -
Set air fryer to 200°C and spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towel and cut into 2.5-cm squares using a sharp knife.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss salmon pieces gently in marinade until evenly coated.
04 -
Arrange salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 4 to 5 minutes, flip pieces, then continue cooking an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 60-63°C.
05 -
While salmon cooks, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add heavy cream, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until butter melts and sauce is combined and heated through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
06 -
Transfer cooked salmon to a bowl. Pour garlic cream sauce over salmon bites and serve immediately, optionally over mashed potatoes or rice.
# Notes:
01 -
For optimal flavour, allow salmon bites to marinate for a few minutes while preheating the air fryer.
