Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch bites

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ginger powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a medium bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon bites in the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

    Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

      Coat the Salmon: After marinating, remove the salmon from the bowl and let excess marinade drip off. In a separate bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over the salmon bites and coat them evenly. This will give them that crispy texture when cooked.

        Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not touching to allow for even cooking. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

          Air Fry: Cook the salmon bites at 400°F (200°C) for 7-9 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. The salmon should be golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F or 63°C).

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the crispy teriyaki salmon bites from the air fryer. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and decoration.

              Enjoy: Serve the salmon bites warm with extra teriyaki sauce for dipping, alongside rice or veggies for a complete meal!
