Ingredients

Scale

1 pound salmon filet (cut into 1 inch cubes)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Sesame seeds for garnish
Crushed red pepper for garnish
Green onions (diced for garnish)

Instructions

Step: Remove salmon skin using a sharp blade and discard. Then, chop salmon filets into 1’’ cubes. Set them aside.
Step: Mix teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder.
Step: Coat salmon bites with the sauce mixture.
Step: Preheat the Air Fryer to 350F, then arrange salmon pieces inside without overlapping them.
Step: Cook for six to eight minutes or until bites are cooked through. Turning them over is optional.
Step: Serve with sesame seeds, crushed red pepper, and green onions. You can serve soy sauce alongside the salmon for dipping.

Notes

You can use frozen salmon, just thaw completely before cutting. Thaw overnight in the fridge or in a sealed bag submerged in cold water. You can bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes or broil for 5–6 minutes. To meal prep, marinate the salmon ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cool leftover bites completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
