Top tips for perfect salmon bites:
Cut the salmon pieces into evenly sized cubes so that they cook at the same time.
Cook the bites in a single layer with space around each piece.
Lift the salmon bites using silicone tongs. They can stick a little to the basket sometimes but just give them a gentle lift and they will come away. If you're worried about sticking, you can use an air fryer liner.
Cooking time depends on the size of your salmon pieces - check towards the end of the cooking time and adjust as necessary.
