Instructions:

1. Prep salmon nuggets:
   Pat the salmon pieces dry with paper towels.

2. Prepare breading:
   In a bowl, whisk the egg.
   In another bowl, mix crushed pork rinds, salt, pepper, and optional spices.

3. Coat the nuggets:
   Dip each salmon nugget into the egg, then coat thoroughly with the pork rind mixture.

4. Preheat air fryer:
   Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

5. Cook nuggets:
   Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a bit of animal fat.
   Place salmon nuggets in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).
   Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside and cooked through inside.

6. Serve:
   Enjoy hot! Perfect on their own or with a carnivore-friendly dipping sauce like melted butter or sour cream (if tolerated).
