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 your air fryer to 190°C (380°F) and let it heat up while you prepare the salmon and sauce.
- Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, garlic powder, pepper, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and minced ginger until well combined.
- Coat the salmon: Add the bite-sized salmon pieces to the marinade and toss gently until all pieces are fully coated with the sauce.
- Air fry the salmon bites: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the leftover sauce. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Prepare the glaze: While the salmon cooks, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk this slurry into the reserved marinade sauce, then pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, and let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Glaze and serve: Once the salmon bites are cooked, brush them generously with the thickened glaze and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture in this recipe.
- The glaze adds a rich and shiny finish, but you can also serve the salmon bites with the leftover sauce if preferred.
- This recipe is versatile and can be served as an appetizer, snack, or as part of a main meal alongside rice or vegetables.
