Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon skin removed
  • 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
  • 2-3 teaspoons avocado or olive oil

Equipment

  • air fryer

Method
 

  1. Remove the skin from the salmon, if it has skin. Pat with paper towels so the surface is mostly dry. Cut the salmon into cubes, 1 to 2 inches each.
  2. Mix the spices together in a small bowl.
  3. Toss the salmon cubes in the spices and oil, mixing it together thoroughly.
  4. Place the salmon pieces in the air fryer, spreading them out a bit so they?re not laying on top of each other. Air fry at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
  5. Check for doneness; the salmon should be golden on the outside and juicy on the inside. Adjust cooking time to 6-7 minutes for medium doneness.
