Description

Air Fryer Hot Honey Salmon Bites are crispy and tender salmon cubes coated with a zesty blend of olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning, then air-fried to perfection and drizzled with sweet and spicy hot honey. This quick and easy appetizer or snack offers a delightful balance of smoky, savory, and sweet heat flavors, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 12–14 ounces salmon fillets (skin removed)

Seasoning & Coating

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Topping & Garnish

  • 3–4 tbsp hot honey
  • Parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), if your model requires preheating. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into roughly 1-inch bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Season the Salmon: Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss gently to coat each salmon piece evenly with the mixture.
  4. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lay the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding stacking to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
  5. Cook the Salmon: Air fry the salmon bites for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure an even crisp exterior and tender inside.
  6. Add Hot Honey: Once the salmon bites are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and immediately drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of hot honey over the warm bites to coat.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and optionally add lemon wedges on the side for extra zest. Serve the hot honey salmon bites immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to cut the salmon into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Use skinless salmon fillets to prevent sticking and for easier preparation.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey depending on your spice and sweetness preference.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper crisping of the salmon bites.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers may lose crispiness.
  • Can be served as an appetizer, snack, or part of a main meal with sides.
