Prep: 10 min · Cook: 8 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp kosher salt
- 0.125 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup blue cheese dressing
- 2 stalks celery
Cooking instructions
- Pat the salmon dry, remove the skin if needed, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (about 3 min)
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between pieces. (about 3 min) — 400°F
- Air-fry until the salmon is opaque and reaches 145°F in the thickest piece, turning or shaking the basket halfway through. This usually takes 7 to 9 minutes, depending on cube size and air fryer model. (about 8 min) — 400°F; 145°F internal
- Transfer the cooked salmon to a clean bowl and gently toss with the Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery. (about 2 min)
