Servings: 4
Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup cholula hot sauce
- 3 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
- nonstick spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes and spray the basket with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Slice the salmon into 2-inch chunks and season with salt, pepper, the spice blend, and lemon juice.
- Add the honey and hot sauce to a small bowl and mix until well combined. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce and set it aside.
- Pour the hot honey sauce over the salmon chunks and mix well. Place the salmon chunks in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Don't overcrowd the air fryer, cook in batches.
- Place the salmon bites on a platter and pour the remaining 1/4 cup hot honey sauce over the top and enjoy!
Notes
- Allow the salmon to sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking. This will allow the salmon to cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the salmon bites. The salmon bites are very small and don't need to cook that long. Doing so will result in dry salmon bites.
- Want to make these spicier? Add more cayenne pepper!
- Make sure all of the salmon chunks are about the same size otherwise they won't cook evenly.
