This might be my new favorite way to eat salmon! I love anything bite-sized. I'm sure many of you would agree. These salmon bites are not only fun, but they are so yummy too!
You can serve these bites with your favorite sauce, but I highly suggest giving my homemade lemon dill sauce a try! The flavors of the sauce pair so well with the salmon.
Ingredients in lemon dill sauce
- plain Greek yogurt - To make this recipe dairy free, use a dairy free yogurt you enjoy!

- salt and pepper

These salmon bites were super tasty! I had to air fry mine for longer, but no big deal. I loved the dill sauce, too! Great for dipping roasted veggies, as well.
Love that idea!!
