These crispy air fryer everything bagel salmon bites feature a crunchy, savory crust paired with creamy cream cheese, making a quick and satisfying snack or appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Everything bagel seasoning (with sesame seeds, garlic, onion, poppy seeds, and salt)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh chives or dill, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into roughly 1-inch bite-sized chunks.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss salmon bites with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil until lightly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning over salmon bites and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Arrange salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then gently flip or shake the basket and cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy and internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Soften cream cheese ahead of time; optionally mix with lemon juice or fresh herbs.
  8. Serve salmon bites warm with a dollop of cream cheese on top or on the side, garnish with extra everything bagel seasoning or fresh herbs, and lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for best results. Fresh everything bagel seasoning yields better flavor. Can bake in oven at 425°F for 12-15 minutes on a wire rack if no air fryer is available. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days; reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
