Description

Tender, juicy air fryer teriyaki salmon bites with sticky, sweet-savory glaze. Quick, easy, and perfect for weeknight dinners or appetizers.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Set the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking oil.
