Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Air Fryer Salmon Bites are flavorful and delicious. Made with fresh salmon and a simple marinade, these bites won't last long once you serve them!

Similar to the other salmon fillets on this list already, it makes a great dinner dish. We like to rotate between honey garlic and honey mustard salmon because both are so delicious!

Air Fryer Salmon with Dill

If you'd prefer to use some dill (or other fresh herbs) with your salmon fillet, then try this air fryer salmon recipe! It is made with a simple marinade including oil, mustard, dill and lemon juice. The salmon fillets turn out moist and flaky (as long as you don't overcook them) and pair well with lots of sides. This was the first salmon recipe we experimented with in the air fryer and it's still one of our favorites when we have fresh dill on hand.
