Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garnish

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and pepper. This will create a flavorful marinade for the salmon.

Step 2: Marinate the Salmon

Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated in the marinade. Allow them to marinate for about 15 minutes for optimal flavor.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (200°C). Preheating ensures that the salmon bites cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture.

Step 4: Arrange the Salmon in the Air Fryer

Carefully place the marinated salmon bites in the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer to allow for maximum crispiness during cooking.

Step 5: Air Fry the Salmon Bites

Air fry the salmon bites for 7-9 minutes. They should be cooked through and have a beautiful golden exterior when finished.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Once the salmon bites are done, remove them from the air fryer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a delightful finishing touch before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions

These salmon bites can be served as an appetizer, a light snack, or even paired with a side salad for a full meal.

Storage Instructions

Leftover salmon bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.

Customization Options

Feel free to adjust the marinade ingredients to suit your taste. Adding spices such as chili flakes or substituting maple syrup for honey can add a unique flavor twist.
