Best thing I’ve ever made in my air fryer 🤌🏼 These Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon Bites are perfection, especially paired with my Creamy Lemon Pasta. It’s basically everything I would put on a garlic knot, except I added it to crispy bites of salmon. It REALLY works. If you don’t have an air fryer, I recommend pan frying on medium heat in some olive oil to get them nice and crispy. Same cooking time. Enjoy!!
