Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillet, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

2. Add the salmon pieces to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
4. Place the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
