Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the salmon pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and brown sugar. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the salmon and gently toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon bites are golden and cooked through.
Remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and drizzle with chili crisp oil, if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over rice if desired.

Notes

Make sure to preheat your air fryer for even cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches for the best results.
Feel free to substitute the toppings with your favorite herbs and spices.
