Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Bites
- 1 pound salmon, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Glaze
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 190°C (380°F) and allow it to heat up to ensure even cooking of the salmon bites.
- Prepare marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, pepper, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and minced ginger until well combined.
- Coat the salmon: Add the bite-sized salmon pieces into the marinade and toss until every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Air fry the salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the leftover sauce for the glaze. Place the salmon bites in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
- Make the glaze: While the salmon cooks, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk this slurry into the reserved marinade sauce and transfer the mixture to a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Glaze and serve: Once the salmon bites are cooked through and slightly crispy, brush them with the thickened glaze. Serve immediately to enjoy at their best.
Notes
- These salmon bites are quick and easy to make, perfect for last-minute snacks or appetizers.
- The sweet and savory glaze can be adjusted by varying the amount of honey or soy sauce to taste.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as it may cause uneven cooking.
