Notes
You can use frozen salmon, just thaw completely before cutting. Thaw overnight in the fridge or in a sealed bag submerged in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. You can bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes or broil for 5–6 minutes. You’ll get a similar result, just watch carefully to avoid overcooking. To meal prep marinate the salmon ahead and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Let sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes before cooking. Cool leftover salmon bites completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes. Freeze cooled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer until firm. Then transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen at 300°F—texture may be slightly softer.
