Notes
- Maximize Salmon Flavor: Patting salmon dry ensures better marinade absorption and prevents steaming, creating a crispy exterior when air frying.
- Perfect Marination Timing: Brief 3-minute marination allows salmon to absorb flavors without breaking down protein structure, preventing tough texture.
- Air Fryer Spacing Strategy: Leave sufficient space between salmon cubes to enable proper hot air circulation, guaranteeing evenly cooked, golden-brown pieces.
- Temperature Precision: Cooking at 400°F creates the ideal golden crust while maintaining salmon’s delicate, flaky interior, preventing overcooking and dryness.
