These crispy honey garlic glazed salmon bites are a quick, flavorful snack or appetizer made in the air fryer. They feature a sticky-sweet glaze with a crispy exterior and tender salmon inside, perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 salmon fillet, skinless and cut into 1-inch cubes (fresh or thawed frozen salmon)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Pinch of ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste (kosher salt recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended. Set aside.
  3. Lightly season the salmon cubes with salt. Sprinkle cornstarch over the salmon and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the coated salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. Toss the cooked salmon bites immediately with the honey garlic glaze until fully coated and sticky.
  7. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle optional sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed to keep bites crispy. Pat salmon dry thoroughly before coating with cornstarch. Toss bites in glaze after cooking to prevent burning. Preheat air fryer for best crispiness. Shake basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
