Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 3 tablespoon melted butter
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium recommended
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
Salmon
  • 2 to 2.5 lb fresh salmon fillet skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Whisk together melted butter, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until fully combined.
  2. Remove skin from salmon fillet and cut into 1-inch cubes. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and toss gently to coat every piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
  4. Line the air fryer basket with foil to catch juices. Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Air fry in batches for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the bites are golden, caramelized, and cooked through.
  5. Carefully remove the foil with captured juices. Spoon the collected glaze over the salmon bites for extra flavor.
  6. Transfer salmon bites to a platter. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
