Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Optional Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: honey, sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Place the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, gently warm the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for a few seconds. Do not boil.
- Once the salmon is cooked, carefully place the hot salmon bites into the warmed sauce and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha to make the bites spicier or milder.
- Ensure not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry.
- For a deeper flavor, you can marinate the salmon in half the sauce for 15-20 minutes before air frying.
