Crispy air fryer salmon bites coated with a sticky, sweet-heat honey sriracha glaze. A quick, tasty snack or appetizer that’s crispy on the outside and tender inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese-style preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 to 1½ tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Optional: chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet. Cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.
  2. Drizzle salmon cubes with olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Lightly press salmon cubes into breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  6. Place coated salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces.
  7. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through at 4 minutes, until golden and crisp outside but tender inside.
  8. While cooking, whisk together honey, sriracha, and lime juice to make the glaze.
  9. Remove salmon bites from air fryer and brush each bite with the honey sriracha glaze.
  10. For extra sticky glaze, return bites to air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  11. Transfer to serving plate, garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Pat salmon dry before breading for best crispiness. Glaze at the end to keep bites crispy underneath. For gluten-free, substitute panko with almond flour or crushed gluten-free crackers. Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
