💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Pat salmon cubes completely dry with paper towels and let them air-dry for 10-15 minutes before cooking to remove surface moisture that prevents crisping.technique10-15 minutes air-dry
- ✓Cut salmon against the grain into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent the fish from falling apart during the high-heat crisping phase.technique1-inch uniform cubes
- ✓Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - leave 30-40% space between salmon pieces so hot air circulates freely and creates maximum surface crisping.equipment30-40% spacing
- ✓The two-stage cooking method works because 320°F gently cooks the interior to 125-130°F while 390°F creates the Maillard reaction for crispiness without overcooking.timing320°F then 390°F
- ✓Use salmon with at least 12-15% fat content (like Atlantic or King salmon) because the fat renders during cooking and helps achieve crispy edges while keeping centers moist.ingredient12-15% fat content
