Ingredients

  • – 1 pound (454 g) salmon, skinless
  • – 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Slice the salmon into pieces that are 1 ½-inch in size.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon pieces with vegetable oil, Cajun spices, chili flakes, and lemon juice. Gently mix to ensure the salmon is evenly coated. If your Cajun mix lacks salt, sprinkle in ¾ teaspoon of salt.

  • Adjust the red chili flakes for a spicier taste to your liking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the Air Fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
