Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon EACH: garlic powder and onion powder
- 3 tablespoons hot honey* we used Mike’s hot honey, divided
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos divided
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Toppings: green onions, sesame seeds, avocado
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and remove the skin from the salmon. Lay the salmon down on the cutting board and slide your knife back and forth between the skin and the flesh to remove the skin. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes.
- Add the salmon chunks to a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle them with the garlic, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder and toss to coat until each salmon bite is covered in seasoning.
- Mix the coconut aminos (or soy sauce) and hot honey in a small bowl and pour half of it over the salmon bites and toss again. Add the vinegar to the remaining sauce and set aside to top the salmon when it's done.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray then transfer the seasoned salmon bites to the basket in an even layer. Air fryer at 400°F for 6-8 minutes, shaking halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 135-145°F. I like to stop cooking my salmon when it reaches 135°F to allow for 10 degrees of carryover cooking.
- Drizzle the sauce over the salmon bites and sprinkle with green onions. You could also add a little mayo to the sauce and use it as a dipping sauce.
