Ingredients

🐟 1 lb salmon (boneless, skinless)
🍬 1 tablespoon brown sugar
🌶️ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder

🧂 3/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon table salt)
🥄 2-3 teaspoons avocado or olive oil

Instructions

1- Prep the Salmon:

Start by cutting the boneless, skinless salmon into 1-inch cubes.

2- Prepare the Spice Mix:

In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and all the spices together.

3- Coat the Salmon:

Add the salmon cubes to the bowl of spices.
Toss gently to ensure that each piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Air fry for about 8 minutes, or until the cubes have a crispy exterior and are cooked through. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking process for even cooking.
