Ingredients

2 tbsp Pappy Dan Sprinkles Smoky Barrel BBQ
1 lb fresh salmon, skin removed and cut evenly sized pieces
1 cup boiling water

Let’s Make It!

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Remove the Salmon Skin: Carefully pour boiling water over the salmon skin to help loosen it. Gently peel the skin away from the flesh and discard.
Cut the Salmon: Cut the skinless salmon into evenly sized pieces to help ensure even cooking.
Season the Salmon: Generously coat the salmon pieces on all sides with Pappy Dan Sprinkles Smoky Barrel BBQ.
Air Fry the Salmon: Arrange the seasoned salmon bites in a single layer on the air fryer rack, leaving space between each piece. Air fry at 400°F for 5–6 minutes, checking the larger pieces for doneness. Cook until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
