Hot Honey Salmon Bite (Printable Recipe Version)
Juicy salmon chunks seasoned and air-fried, then topped with a spicy honey glaze that’s irresistible.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Salmon Prep
01 -
Skinless salmon, cut into 1-inch pieces (1½ pounds)
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
03 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 -
1 teaspoon powdered garlic
05 -
1 teaspoon powdered onion
06 -
1 teaspoon coarse salt
07 -
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Honey Butter Sauce
08 -
3 tablespoons room-temperature butter (unsalted)
09 -
¼ cup hot honey (bought or DIY)
10 -
Chopped parsley for a fresh garnish
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Set your air fryer to 390°F and let it heat up first.
02 -
Mix oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Toss your salmon chunks in there and make sure everything gets an even coat.
03 -
Lay the salmon pieces flat (don’t stack them) in the basket of your air fryer. If your fryer is small, you may need to go in batches. Cook for about 9-10 minutes, giving the basket a shake midway. Make sure they reach 140-145°F inside.
04 -
While the salmon's cooking, grab a saucepan. Heat up the butter and hot honey on medium until it’s melted and smooth. Once combined, shut off the heat.
05 -
Transfer the cooked salmon bites into the saucepan with the warm honey butter. Gently toss till all pieces are glazed. Sprinkle with parsley and serve while still warm.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Using an oven instead? Cook at 400°F on a baking sheet for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through.
02 -
Don’t overcrowd the fryer; cook the salmon in smaller batches if needed.
03 -
Prefer less spice? Swap hot honey for plain honey to tone it down.
