Crispy Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon Bites Recipe
Crispy, tender salmon bites coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze, cooked in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet (skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Make the honey mustard glaze: In a small bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, and olive oil until smooth.
- Coat the salmon: Toss the salmon cubes in the honey mustard glaze until evenly coated.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Cook the salmon: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Air fry for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is crispy and cooked through.
- Serve: Let the salmon bites rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or over a fresh salad.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Use fresh or thawed salmon for the best texture.
