Ingredients

  • 2 pounds salmon skin removed
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Preheat air fryer to 380° F.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon in the mixing bowl and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the salmon, a little bit at a time, tossing gently to evenly coat the fish with the seasonings.
  • Place salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer with a little space between them (work in batches as needed). Air fry at 380° F for 6-7 minutes, until salmon is cooked to your liking. (You do not need to flip the salmon during the cook time.)
