Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Meatball Appetizer Recipes. (Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets Recipe). Crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside, these salmon nuggets are finished off with a sweet chipotle-maple drizzle. These make a great appetizer and are also tasty served over greens. Try and find center-cut salmon filets that are at least 1-inch thick. I usually buy extra salmon, and trim off the thinner outer edges, saving for another use. I like to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil, but feel free to use regular cooking spray.
