Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon fillet, 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

1

In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 2 tsp rice vinegar, and 2 tsp cornstarch to make the glaze.
2

Add 1 1/2 lbs 1-inch cubes skinless salmon fillet to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray.
4

Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between pieces. Reserve remaining marinade. Air fry at 400°F for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking once halfway, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the edges are caramelized.
5

While the salmon cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened to a glaze consistency.
6

Toss the cooked salmon with the reduced glaze. Transfer to a plate and garnish with 2 tsp sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Serve over rice or greens.

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Soy Glaze gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Soy Glaze keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Soy Glaze?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
