Description
Crispy honey-garlic soy-glazed salmon cubes cooked in an air fryer for a quick, restaurant-quality meal. Tangy, sticky, and ocean-fresh with a golden crust.
Ingredients
1 pound skinless wild-caught salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium if desired)
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a bowl, combine salmon cubes with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
Let the salmon marinate for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
Toss the cubes in the marinade again to ensure full coverage.
Place the salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Use wild-caught salmon for the best flavor, though farm-raised is acceptable.
For even browning, consider using an air fryer tray or baking sheet with a wire rack.
Double the recipe for easy meal prep; frozen portions reheat well.
Can be served with riced cauliflower for a low-carb option or jasmine rice for richness.
