Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs Halal Salmon Fillets (skinless, boneless)
¼ cup Honey
2 tbsp Tamari (halal soy sauce)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Olive Oil
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Sesame Seeds (for garnish, optional)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley or Scallions, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salmon: First, pat the halal salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes, creating your perfect salmon bites
  2. Make the Sauce: Next, in a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, tamari, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. This forms the flavorful glaze for your Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon Bites
  3. Coat Salmon: Gently add the salmon cubes to the bowl with the sauce. Toss them carefully until each salmon bite is evenly coated. Let them marinate for 5-10 minutes if you have time, but it's not strictly necessary for delicious honey garlic salmo
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes
  5. Air Fry: Arrange the coated salmon bites in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed to ensure even cooking and crispy edges on your Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon Bites
  6. Cook: Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping the air fryer salmon bites halfway through. The cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of your salmon pieces. The honey garlic salmon should be opaque and flake easily
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finally, remove the cooked Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon Bites from the air fryer. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley or scallions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful salmon bites!

Notes

Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in a single layer for best results.

Pat salmon dry before coating with sauce for better adhesion and crispiness.

Cook salmon until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C); avoid overcooking.

A 5-10 minute marinade can deepen the flavor, but is optional.

Preheat the air fryer for a more consistent cooking temperature and better results.

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

For best results, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until just warmed through.
