Description

Crispy, caramelized salmon bites coated in a savory miso honey glaze, tender on the inside with bold umami flavor, perfect for quick dinners or protein packed bowls.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • Salmon, 1 1/2 lbs, cubed
  • Low sodium soy sauce or tamari, 1/3 cup
  • Rice vinegar, 3 tbsp
  • Sesame oil, 1 tbsp
  • Freshly grated ginger, 2 tsp (or 1 tsp ground)
  • White miso paste, 2 tbsp (or red miso, 1 tbsp)
  • Honey, 1/4 cup
  • Garlic powder, 1 tsp
  • Kosher salt, 1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 F or the oven to 425 F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, miso paste, honey, garlic powder, and kosher salt until smooth.
  3. Add the cubed salmon to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the marinade.
  4. Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.
  6. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes or bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy on the outside and cooked through.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute so the glaze sets slightly.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cut salmon into even cubes for consistent cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket or tray to ensure crisp edges.
  • Marinate for up to 30 minutes if you want deeper flavor.
