Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Bites
  • 1 lb salmon fillet (skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes) Fresh salmon is rich and flaky.
  • 2 tablespoons honey Adds natural sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Provides salty depth.
  • 2 cloves minced garlic Infuses flavor into the bites.
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil Adds healthy fat and helps mix glaze.
  • Salt (to taste) Enhances all flavors.
  • Pepper (to taste) Adds a hint of warmth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Place the salmon cubes into the bowl with the honey garlic glaze and toss gently until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes until golden and flaky. Monitor closely to prevent overcooking.
Serving

Notes

For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes before air frying. Add red pepper flakes for heat. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
