Hot Honey Salmon Bites include juicy salmon cubes air fried to perfection and topped with a sweet and spicy hot honey sauce. Ready in about 20 minutes, this easy air fryer salmon bites recipe is great for busy weeknights.
Set your air fryer to 400°F and give the basket a light coating of oil or spray.
Use a paper towel to thoroughly dry the salmon pieces, then add them to a mixing bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Gently toss until evenly coated, being careful not to break up the fish.
Place the salmon pieces into the air fryer basket in a single, even layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, until the outside is lightly browned and the centers are just cooked and flaky.
While the salmon is cooking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk until smooth.
Warm the mixture over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Move the cooked salmon to a serving bowl, drizzle with the warm sauce, and gently toss to coat. Serve right away while hot.
