Cut the salmon into cubes, ensuring they are bite-sized.

In a bowl, add paprika, sloppy Mama seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cubed salmon.

Gently toss the salmon with the seasonings using gloved hands or a spoon to coat evenly without breaking the salmon apart.

Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the seasoned salmon bites in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.

Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the salmon bites for 15 minutes until golden and crispy.

While the first batch cooks, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, and the juice of one whole lemon in a bowl.

Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the sauce and mix until smooth and creamy.

Taste the sauce and add black pepper if needed, then set aside until the salmon bites are ready.

After 15 minutes, remove the first batch of salmon bites from the air fryer and place them on a plate.

Keep the cooked salmon bites warm in the oven while preparing the second batch.

Repeat the cooking process for the second batch of salmon bites at 400°F for 15 minutes.

Once done, combine both batches on the plate and serve.
