Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- Small cube of fresh ginger, grated
- Olive oil spray (for air fryer basket)
- Optional: sesame seeds, green onions, sriracha aioli, lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by creating a bold and flavorful marinade for the salmon. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, grated garlic, and freshly grated ginger.
- Add your cubed salmon to the marinade. Gently toss the cubes to ensure that every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to a resealable plastic bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for enhanced flavors.
- While the salmon is marinating, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and spray the basket lightly with olive oil.
- Once preheated, arrange the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the salmon bites and garnish with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or sriracha aioli. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
For a more intense flavor, consider marinating the salmon overnight in the refrigerator.
