Ingredients
-
⅓ cup maple syrup
-
¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
-
1 pinch sea salt
-
1 ½ cups butter- and garlic-flavored croutons
-
1 large egg
-
1 (1 pound) skinless, center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
-
cooking spray
Directions
-
Combine maple syrup, chipotle powder, and salt in saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
-
Place croutons in the bowl of a mini food processor; pulse until crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Sprinkle salmon lightly with sea salt. Lightly dip salmon into egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Coat salmon in crouton breading and shake off extra. Set on a plate and mist lightly with cooking spray.
-
Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon nuggets inside, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, if necessary.
-
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 3 minutes. Gently turn salmon pieces, spray lightly with oil, and cook until salmon is cooked throughout, 3 to 4 more minutes. Place on a serving platter and drizzle with warm chipotle-maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
Keep nuggets warm in an oven on the lowest setting while air frying remaining nuggets.
You can also serve the chipotle-maple syrup on the side as a dipping sauce.
