Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (gluten-free or regular)
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 400°F (for 3 to 5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, gently toss the salmon pieces with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, kosher salt, nutritional yeast, and panko until evenly coated.
- Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Tip: You don’t need to measure internal temperature here, because it’s fine to overcook them: they actually taste delicious when slightly overdone (the texture is a bite more like a chicken nugget). Store leftovers refrigerated for 3 days; reheat in the air fryer.
Notes
Broiler variation: Prepare the salmon as noted above. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and olace the salmon on the foil, ensuring there is space between each bite. Broil 4 to 5 minutes until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130°F in the center).
