How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Salmon Nuggets

1. Stage

Combine maple syrup, chipotle powder, and salt in saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.

Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Spray basket of the air fryer with cooking spray. Place salmon nuggets inside, working in batches to avoid overcrowding, if necessary.
