Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Center-cut Salmon Fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 0.5 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, grated into a paste
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger, finely minced
  • 0.5 tsp Sriracha

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon fillet extremely dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp crust. Remove the skin and dice the flesh into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, grated garlic, minced ginger, and sriracha until the honey is fully dissolved.
  3. Toss the salmon cubes in the avocado oil first to coat, seasoned with salt and pepper. Gently fold the salmon into the prepared glaze bowl.
  4. Let the salmon marinate for no more than 10 minutes at room temperature to prevent the acid and salt from breaking down the protein texture.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer in the basket, ensuring space between pieces for air circulation.
  6. Air fry for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the exterior is caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
