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
Marinade and Glaze
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 190°C (380°F) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the salmon and sauce to ensure even cooking temperature.
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, pepper, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and minced ginger until thoroughly combined to create a sweet and savory marinade.
- Coat the salmon: Add the bite-sized salmon pieces to the marinade and mix gently, making sure each piece is fully coated with the sauce to infuse flavor.
- Air fry the salmon bites: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the leftover sauce for later. Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through for even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Make the glaze: While the salmon cooks, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk this slurry into the reserved marinade sauce and heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer gently until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Glaze and serve: Once the salmon bites are cooked through and tender, remove them from the air fryer and brush them generously with the prepared glaze. Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to flip the salmon bites halfway through air frying to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Reserve the marinade sauce to make a delicious glaze instead of using it raw or discarding it.
- Adjust the amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet glaze.
- Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor.
- Salmon can vary in thickness; adjust air frying time slightly if needed to avoid overcooking.
