Description
These hot honey salmon bites are tender, flaky salmon cubes coated in a savory parmesan seasoning, cooked until crispy on the outside, and drizzled in spicy honey for the most amazing mix of flavors. Totally gluten-free and dairy-free too!
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon
- 1/3 cup grated dairy-free Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup hot honey
- Chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Cut Salmon into Cubes: Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into evenly sized cubes.
- Toss Salmon Cubes in Seasoning: Add the salmon cubes to the seasoning mixture, gently tossing until well coated.
- Place in Air Fryer Basket: Place the salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between the salmon pieces.
- Air Fry Until Golden: Air fry the salmon cubes at 400F for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Drizzle with Hot Honey: Remove from the air fryer, drizzle with hot honey, and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Notes
Salmon: Make sure to use fresh, firm salmon that will hold its shape once cut into cubes.
Parmesan: I used dairy-free parmesan to keep this recipe dairy-free. However, if you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use regular parmesan instead.
Seasonings: For flavor, I’ve used a mix of smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper. However, feel free to use your favorite seasonings if you prefer.
Hot Honey: I’ve used store-bought hot honey, but you can easily make your own instead (by simmering honey and dried chili flakes).
Chives: I like sprinkling these crispy hot honey salmon bites with chopped fresh chives for a beautiful pop of color.
