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 thoroughly combined to create a sweet and savory marinade.
- Coat the salmon: Add the bite-sized salmon pieces to the marinade and mix gently until each piece is fully coated with the sauce.
- Air fry the salmon bites: Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the leftover sauce for later. Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Make the glaze: While the salmon cooks, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Whisk this slurry into the reserved marinade sauce and heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer gently until it thickens to a glaze consistency.
- Glaze and serve: When the salmon bites are cooked through and tender, remove them from the air fryer and brush them generously with the prepared glaze. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These salmon bites are best served immediately after glazing to maintain their crispiness and flavor.
- You can adjust the sweetness or saltiness of the glaze by varying the amount of honey or soy sauce used.
- Watch the video tutorial to see the entire cooking process and tips on handling the salmon bites.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili paste to the marinade.
- Ensure the salmon pieces are cut evenly for uniform cooking in the air fryer.
