Smoky air-fried salmon bites
These golden salmon bites are proof that simple can still be seriously delicious. Fresh salmon fillets are cut into chunky pieces, lightly coated in olive oil, smoked paprika and garlic, then air-fried until perfectly tender inside with a lightly crisp, smoky edge. Ready in under 10 minutes, they’re ideal for easy midweek dinners or quick lunches that don’t compromise on flavour. Toss through a fresh green salad, serve over rice or quinoa with roasted veg, or wrap into warm flatbreads with a punchy sauce for a versatile, feel-good meal you’ll come back to again and again.
