Ingredients
- 500 g salmon, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or hot mustard1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegarGood pinch of saltGood pinch of black pepper1 teaspoon dill1/4 cup coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt1/2 teaspoon lemon juice1 teaspoon olive oilPinch of saltPinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into 1 1/2-inch cubes.Mix 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.Toss the salmon with half of the mustard dressing and reserve the remaining dressing for serving.Preheat the air fryer to 400°F or 200°C and lightly spray the basket with oil or line it with suitable greaseproof paper.Arrange the salmon pieces in the basket, skin side down if using skin-on salmon, leaving space between the pieces.Air fry for 7 to 8 minutes until the salmon reaches your preferred doneness and develops lightly crisp edges.Mix the dill, yogurt, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until creamy.Transfer the cooked salmon bites to a serving plate and drizzle with the reserved mustard dressing.Serve immediately with the dill yogurt dipping sauce and, if desired, rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
- Cut the salmon into evenly sized cubes so the pieces cook at a similar rate.Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket because space around each piece helps the edges crisp.Check smaller salmon cubes before the full 8 minutes because they may cook faster.Reserve half of the dressing before it touches the raw salmon so it stays suitable for serving.Greek yogurt makes a thick creamy dipping sauce, while coconut yogurt offers a dairy-free alternative.Serve the salmon bites immediately for the best crisp-edged texture.
