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 allow it to preheat while you prepare the salmon and sauce.
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together salt, garlic powder, pepper, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and minced ginger until well combined.
- Coat the salmon: Add the salmon pieces to the marinade and mix thoroughly to ensure each piece is fully coated with the sauce.
- Air fry the salmon bites: Remove the salmon pieces from the marinade, reserving the leftover sauce. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.
- Prepare the glaze: While the salmon cooks, combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk this slurry into the reserved sauce and pour into a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly into a glaze.
- Glaze and serve: Once the salmon bites are fully cooked and crispy, brush them generously with the thickened glaze. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
