- Mix Coating: In a bowl, combine the grated parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend flavors, ensuring each bite is packed with taste.
- Coat Salmon: Toss the dried salmon pieces in olive oil. Then, add the parmesan mixture, making sure to coat them evenly for a delightful crunch.
- Prepare Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, giving them space to crisp up nicely.
