Why this recipe works
Leave room between fish pieces
Four short skewers make two servings without rice or bread. Use fully thawed skinless salmon. Cut pepper into flat pieces so it softens alongside the more delicate fish cubes.

Cook
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Cook spaced apart for about 14 minutes at 180 °C. Turn carefully halfway using gloves. Metal ends get hot; check doneness in the thickest fish cube. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air fryer salmon pepper skewers
Only if appliance and accessory guidance allow it. This method is designed for suitable metal skewers.
Thick pepper takes longer. Flat pieces soften without requiring unnecessarily long fish cooking.
No, apply the thin lemon oil coating just before cooking. Prolonged acid exposure changes the surface.
Very small pieces or tight threading make them fragile. Turn the skewer rather than pulling soft fish.
