Make these air fryer honey garlic salmon bites in under 20 minutes! Perfectly caramelized and full of flavor.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Honey Garlic Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (non-alcoholic alternative, e.g., naturally brewed or tamarind-based)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer: Before you start prepping, preheat your air fryer to 400°F for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures it’s ready to go when you are.
  2. Whip up the glaze: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil. Whisk until everything’s well combined. Taste it—it should be a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and garlicky.
  3. Prep the salmon: Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes. (Pro tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts. If your salmon is slippery, pat it dry with a paper towel first.) Sprinkle the cubes with a little salt and pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
  4. Coat the salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the bowl of glaze. Gently toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Air fry the salmon: Place the salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them—give each piece some space to crisp up. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. You’ll know they’re done when the salmon is tender and the glaze is beautifully caramelized.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the salmon bites from the air fryer (they’re hot!) and serve immediately.

Notes

If you have leftovers (though I doubt you will), store the salmon bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into the air fryer at 375°F for 3-5 minutes—they’ll come out just as crisp as when you first made them. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the salmon rubbery.
