1
Prep salmon and lemon
Cutting Board
Sharp knife

Pat the salmon dry, cut it into even 1-inch bites, then zest the lemon and squeeze 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

Keep the sharp knife angled away from fingers while cutting the salmon.

Wash hands, the cutting board, and the knife after contact with raw salmon.

1 pound salmon
1 Each lemon
2
Make the dipping sauce
Small bowl

Mix three-quarters of the mayonnaise with half the prepared lemon juice, all the zest and mustard; refrigerate the dipping sauce. Keep it separate from raw salmon and coating utensils.

1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
3
Preheat and mix seasoned mayonnaise
Medium bowl
air fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F per its instructions and mix the remaining mayonnaise and lemon juice with half the garlic powder and paprika, two-thirds of the salt and all the pepper.

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4
Coat salmon and prepare panko
Medium bowl
Shallow bowl

Toss salmon in the seasoned mayonnaise; separately combine panko, oil and the remaining garlic powder, paprika and salt. Keep raw-contact utensils away from ready-to-eat food.

Avoid touching ready-to-eat items with utensils or hands that contacted raw salmon.

1 pound salmon
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
5
Bread and arrange the bites
air fryer

Press salmon into the panko and arrange in a single uncrowded basket layer. Refrigerate uncooked portions while each batch cooks.

Discard any leftover panko mixture that touched raw salmon.

1 pound salmon
6
Air fry until crisp and cooked through
Tongs
Instant-read thermometer
air fryer

Air fry at 400°F until golden and the thickest bites reach 145°F, about 7–8 minutes per batch. Turn halfway through and continue as needed, then transfer to a clean plate. More batches take extra time.

Use tongs when turning hot salmon bites in the air fryer basket.

Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F in the center.

7
Serve

Serve hot with chilled lemon-Dijon sauce and discard coating that contacted raw salmon. Serve each batch as it finishes for the crispest result.
