Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1 inch cubes pat dry
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped optional, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add salmon cubes to the bowl and toss to coat well. Let sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer finishes preheating.
- Arrange salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spacing pieces slightly. Air fry at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway, until lightly crisp on the edges and 125°F to 130°F internal for medium.
- Rest 2 minutes, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and parsley. Serve immediately with extra lemon if desired.
Notes
For a sweeter glaze, add 0.5 tbsp more honey. Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce if gluten-free. Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
