Instructions

Cut the salmon into smaller pieces and put them into a gallon storage bag.

Notes

If you don't have an air fryer, here's a variation of this recipe that uses the oven!
Marinade your salmon for at least two hours to allow the seasoning to infuse the fish fully.
Don’t forget to crease your air fryer basket, or your salmon may stick.
