Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Elevate the air fryer temperature to a sizzling 400°F, preparing for a culinary transformation.
- Craft a vibrant marinade by whisking olive oil, hot honey, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into a harmonious blend.
- Gently introduce salmon pieces into the marinade, ensuring each morsel is thoroughly and luxuriously coated.
- Arrange the salmon in a precise, non-overlapping configuration within the air fryer basket to guarantee optimal crispiness.
- Initiate the cooking process, allowing the salmon to dance in the heated air for 8-10 minutes until it achieves a perfectly cooked interior and tantalizingly crisp exterior.
- Transfer the golden-brown bites to a serving platter, ready to be devoured while piping hot.
Notes
- Check salmon’s thickness to ensure even cooking, aiming for uniform bite-sized pieces around 1-inch cubes.
- For a lower-heat version, substitute regular honey and add a pinch of mild chili flakes instead of hot honey.
- Pat salmon dry before marinating to help seasoning stick better and achieve crispier exterior when air frying.
- Prevent overcrowding in air fryer basket by cooking in batches if needed, allowing hot air circulation for perfect golden-brown edges.
