Sweet, spicy and seriously quick — these air fryer hot honey salmon bites are a high-protein dinner with a swicy twist, packing 30 g+ of protein per serving. This quick healthy dinner idea is ready in 15 minutes, with crispy-edged salmon cubes glazed in sticky hot honey that the whole family will fight over.
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 8 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes | Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 600 g skinless salmon fillet, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as sriracha)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds and sliced spring onions, to serve
Instructions:
1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Toss the salmon cubes with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2. Arrange the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between pieces. Cook for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the salmon is golden at the edges and cooked through.
3. While the salmon cooks, whisk together the honey, hot sauce, soy sauce and chilli flakes in a small bowl.
4. Drizzle or brush the hot honey glaze over the hot salmon bites and toss gently to coat.
5. Serve straight away over rice or salad, scattered with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
Tips:
- Don't overcrowd the basket: cook in two batches if needed — space is what gives the bites their crispy edges.
- Control the heat: use half the hot sauce for a mild version, or add extra chilli flakes if you like it fiery.
- No air fryer? Bake at 220°C for 10-12 minutes on a lined tray, or pan-fry in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
