Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 Cooking brush
Ingredients
Salmon Bites
- 1 lb salmon fillets skinless
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Garnish

Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Toss the salmon pieces in the glaze, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. This ensures the salmon starts cooking at the right temperature for optimal crispiness.
Cooking
- Place salmon pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove salmon bites from the air fryer. Brush with any remaining glaze and garnish with sesame seeds and parsley if desired.
Serving
- Serve the salmon bites immediately while warm. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
