Ingredients

  • 12-16 ounces salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes (skinless or skin-on)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • Cooking spray

Optional toppings

  • Chopped cilantro
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, add the salmon bites to a medium bowl and toss with the oil.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl, and pour the remaining marinade over the salmon.
  • Spray the preheated air fryer basket with cooking spray, then arrange the salmon inside in a single even layer. Air fry for 6 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Once fully cooked, brush the salmon bites with the reserved marinade and serve.

Notes

  • To store: Place the bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes until warm or in the microwave in 30-second increments.
  • Type of salmon: If using frozen salmon, make sure it’s completely thawed and patted dry before marinating. You can use skin-on or skin-off salmon, whichever you prefer.
  • Make with or without the marinade: You can make this with your favorite blend or dried spices if you don’t want to use a marinade, or you can use your favorite pre-made marinade if chipotle honey isn’t your thing.
