Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs salmon, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup hot honey
  • Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat Air Fryer (The Air Fryer Activation): Preheat the air fryer to 390°F, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
  • Season Salmon (The Seasoning Sensation): In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Add 1 ½ pounds salmon bites and gently toss to coat, ensuring they are evenly seasoned.
  • Air Fry Salmon (The Air Frying Art): Place the salmon bites into the basket of an air fryer in an even layer, avoiding overcrowding. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches. Air fry for 9-10 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Prepare Hot Honey Glaze (The Glaze Genesis): To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons butter and ¼ cup hot honey. Once melted and warmed through, turn off the heat, ensuring the glaze is smooth and consistent.
  • Toss Salmon in Glaze (The Glaze Incorporation): Add the cooked salmon bites to the hot honey glaze. Gently toss to coat, ensuring they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  • Garnish and Serve (The Serving Sensation): Garnish with chopped parsley, adding a touch of freshness and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavorful and satisfying dish!
