Quick and easy crispy salmon bites cooked in the air fryer with a flavorful honey garlic teriyaki glaze that balances sweetness and savory umami.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes (fresh or thawed frozen; wild-caught preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot starch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes, aiming for uniform size so they cook evenly.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until lightly coated. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir frequently and bring just to a gentle simmer.
  4. Mix the cornstarch and water until smooth, then slowly whisk into the simmering sauce. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and let it run empty for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through for even crispness.
  7. Transfer the hot salmon bites to a bowl and immediately drizzle with the honey garlic teriyaki glaze. Gently toss to coat without breaking the pieces.
  8. Serve hot, optionally garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Cut salmon into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent drying out. Preheat the air fryer for best crispiness. Toss salmon with glaze immediately after cooking to avoid sogginess. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Use a silicone liner in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispness.
