Print Recipe

These quick and easy salmon bites are cooked in an air fryer and glazed with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce, delivering a crispy, juicy snack or light meal in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture (about 2 minutes). Cut into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces similar in size for even cooking.
  2. Place salmon pieces into a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and gently toss to coat all sides evenly (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and let it run empty for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces. Cook for 7 minutes, then flip each piece and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until opaque and lightly crisped.
  5. While the salmon cooks, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust spice or sweetness if needed.
  6. Transfer the cooked salmon to a mixing bowl and pour the glaze over the warm bites. Gently toss to coat every piece in the sauce (about 1-2 minutes).
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to avoid steaming. Flip salmon bites halfway through cooking for even browning. Adjust sriracha to control spice level. Use fresh lemon juice for best glaze flavor. Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent sogginess.
