# Instructions:

Slice salmon into cubes about 1 inch each. Mix salmon with oil, garlic and onion powders, paprika, cayenne if you're using it, plus salt and pepper.

Spread salmon on a baking tray with parchment. Cook at 400°F for about 10-12 minutes.

At 375°F, air fry salmon for 8-10 minutes. Flip halfway through so both sides crisp up.

Stir the salmon in the sauce until coated, or pour it over the top. Serve and enjoy while it's hot.
