Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat each piece of salmon in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the fish to help them stick.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place the salmon bites in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. You may need to cook these in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
For extra crispy results, lightly mist the salmon with oil before cooking. Air fry the salmon for 4 minutes, then flip them over and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until they are cooked through and the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden brown.
While the salmon bites are cooking, make the sauce by whisking all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Serve the salmon with the sauce and lemon wedges on the side, if desired.

Notes

Store: Transfer cooled leftover salmon bites to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Warm leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes to retain their crispiness.
