These crispy air fryer salmon bites are coated in a sticky honey soy glaze, delivering a sweet-savory snack that’s quick, easy, and perfect for appetizers or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • Cooking spray or light oil for air fryer basket

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1 lb of skinless salmon fillets. Cut into approximately 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper.
  3. Mix cornstarch with cold water until dissolved, then stir into the glaze mixture.
  4. Toss salmon cubes gently in the glaze until well coated. Marinate for 5–10 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and run empty for 3 minutes.
  6. Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  7. Place salmon bites in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between pieces.
  8. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  9. Optional: Brush with reserved glaze and air fry for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra sticky coating.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation. Use cornstarch slurry to thicken glaze and help it cling. Marinate no longer than 10 minutes to prevent mushy texture. Shake basket halfway through cooking for even browning. Use a thermometer to check doneness if desired (130–135°F for medium). Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
