Air fryer teriyaki salmon bites are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that combines the rich flavor of salmon with the sweet and savory taste of teriyaki sauce. Here’s a simple recipe for making them:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes.
- Make the teriyaki marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon pieces in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the teriyaki marinade over them. Make sure all the salmon pieces are coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air fry the salmon: Once preheated, remove the salmon pieces from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the salmon: Air fry the salmon for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized on the outside. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon pieces.
- Serve: Once the salmon bites are cooked, sprinkle them with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
