These crispy air fryer salmon bites are coated with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze, delivering a quick, flavorful, and fuss-free dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut salmon fillet into roughly 1-inch cubes, aiming for uniform sizes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and run empty for about 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning, until golden crust forms and fish is opaque and flaky.
  6. While salmon cooks, whisk together honey, sriracha, and lemon juice until pourable but sticky.
  7. Toss cooked salmon bites gently in the honey sriracha glaze or brush glaze on one side before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to help crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Adjust sriracha amount to control heat level. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness. Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a different sweetness. For a gluten-free crunchy coating, dust salmon cubes lightly with almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers before air frying.
