Open in Pepper →Salmon That Cooks While You Set The Table
Salmon is the fish that gets dinner done. Cut it into cubes, toss it with seasoning, and the air fryer handles the rest in about the time it takes to pour the drinks and find everybody's forks.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights when nobody planned ahead, when the meat's still frozen, or when Sunday meal prep needs four containers of something that reheats well.
Every recipe here leans on a hot basket and simple pantry seasoning — lemon and garlic salmon bites meal prep, hot honey salmon bites, honey garlic salmon, brown sugar garlic salmon, bang bang salmon bites, and an air fryer salmon bowl for when you want rice underneath.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut even cubes
Aim for 1-inch pieces so every bite cooks through at the same time. Uneven chunks leave you with dry edges and raw centers.
- 2
Pat the salmon dry
Blot both sides with paper towels before seasoning so the oil and spices stick. Wet fish steams instead of browning.
- 3
Preheat the basket
Run the air fryer at 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes before the salmon goes in. The hot surface sets the outside right away.
- 4
Add honey at the end
Brush on hot honey or brown sugar glazes in the last 2 minutes so the sugar doesn't scorch in the basket.
