Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon skinless fillets, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ginger, grated (optional)
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the skinless salmon fillets into approximately 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon in a mixing bowl. Add cornstarch, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss until evenly coated.
- In a separate small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger if using, and water. Stir until combined.
- Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 7–9 minutes, checking for doneness. The salmon should be opaque throughout and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the cooked salmon bites to a clean mixing bowl. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the salmon and gently toss to coat.
- Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the cornstarch adhere and encourage better browning.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Ginger is optional. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
