05 - While salmon cooks, melt butter in a saucepan with heavy cream, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until everything's hot and well combined.

06 - Put your cooked salmon bites in a bowl and pour that warm, creamy garlic sauce all over. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.

# Notes:

01 - Don't overcrowd the air fryer - cook in batches for best results.

02 - The sauce can be made ahead and rewarmed just before serving.
