ShiMuv Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds skinless salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • Chopped parsley, optional
Cubed salmon and seasonings arranged beside an air fryer basket.

How to Make It

  1. Pat the salmon dry and cut it into even 1-inch cubes.
  2. Toss the salmon with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if your model recommends preheating.
  4. Arrange salmon in a single layer and air fry 7–9 minutes, shaking the basket once, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Finish with fresh lemon juice and parsley. Serve immediately with vegetables, rice, or your favorite sauce.

Recipe tip: Salmon cooks quickly. Check early if your pieces are small so they stay juicy instead of drying out.
