I love these crispy salmon popcorn made in the air fryer because they are made without oil and are fantastic for an appetizer or to leave on the table in the living room while you watch a series or a movie on the sofa.
The mix of the juicy texture of fresh salmon and the crispy topping that we make with breakfast cornflakes is spectacular. And inside, a surprise of extra flavor thanks to the spices we use. And all in fifteen or twenty minutes. Who gives more? It has become one of our favorite aifryer recipes.
After this description, you will surely want to know how to make these crunchy popcorn at home. Already You will see how they are the key to success in the next session of series or movies that you organize. Let’s prepare them!
We cut the salmon fillet in small cubes, removing the skin. If you buy a whole salmon, here you can see how to make the most of it, making different cuts. Season to taste and reserve. In a bowl, put the cornflakes and crush them to obtain small pieces. It is not necessary to use a robot but crush them with your hands and so they will be irregular. We also beat the eggs.
Pour the mixture of spices and aromatic herbs on top of the salmon and then, we put the pieces in the beaten egg and then bread them with the corn flakes. In the basket of our fryer without oil or airfryer, we put a baking paper so as not to stain the bottom and without adding any oilwe are placing the pieces of salmon.
Cook for 12 minutes at 200ºC, shaking the basket halfway through cooking so that they pieces of salmon brown evenly on all sides. In that time they will be perfectly cooked, very juicy on the inside and very golden and crispy on the outside.
We end up placing our crunchy salmon bites or popcorn in a bowl, so that we can eat them with our hands, putting some forks or chopsticks so as not to burn ourselves.

With what to accompany the crispy salmon popcorn made in an air fryer
To accompany this tasty appetizer, you can finish off the recipe, adding a trickle of honey on top of the crispy salmon popcorn, if you want to give them a sweet touch, but I like them more natural. The crunchiness is a spectacle and inside they have a flavor that is almost addictive.
