Instructions
Make Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Soy Glaze
- Start by cutting your salmon into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform cubes, roughly 1-inch in size, so they cook evenly. Place the salmon into a mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Whisk until fully blended. This simple glaze will coat the salmon with a beautiful balance of sweet and savory flavors.
- Pour the glaze over the salmon pieces. Toss gently to coat every bite evenly. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes if you have time—this step infuses the flavors deeply, though you can cook immediately if pressed for time.
- Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures your salmon bites get that perfect crispy exterior.
- Place the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily when done.
- Transfer the salmon bites to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions if using. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or dipping sauces for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For best results, use wild-caught salmon for richer flavor.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 10 minutes to deepen flavors, but you can cook immediately if short on time.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
