Quick Dipping Sauce

Mix:

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sour cream
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• A little salt and black pepper

Tips

• Cut the salmon into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
• Do not overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if needed.
• For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated salmon with olive oil before air frying.
• Don’t overcook the salmon, or it can become dry.
