These crispy air fryer honey garlic salmon bites are quick, easy, and perfect for dinner or appetizers. They feature bite-sized salmon pieces coated in a sticky honey garlic glaze, cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Fresh lemon juice, for serving
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the salmon cubes with cornstarch until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to prepare the glaze.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and let it run for about 5 minutes.
  5. Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Place salmon cubes in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through, until salmon is golden and crispy on the outside but still moist inside.
  7. Remove salmon bites from the basket and gently toss them in the honey garlic glaze, coating thoroughly but not drowning the bites.
  8. Return glazed salmon bites to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F to set the glaze and add a sticky finish.
  9. Transfer bites to a serving plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. Use fresh garlic instead of powdered for best flavor. Toss salmon in glaze after initial cooking to prevent sogginess. Adjust cooking time if salmon pieces vary in size. For reheating, use the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispiness.
