- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces - 3 tablespoons honey - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon ginger powder - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish For this recipe, you will need one pound of salmon. This amount serves four people. Use three tablespoons of honey for sweetness. Two tablespoons of Sriracha bring heat. One tablespoon of soy sauce adds depth. One teaspoon each of garlic and ginger powder enhances flavor. One tablespoon of olive oil helps the marinade stick. Salt and pepper round out the taste. Lastly, cilantro gives a fresh finish. If you don’t have honey, maple syrup works well. For Sriracha, try another hot sauce like chili paste. Soy sauce can be swapped with tamari for gluten-free options. Garlic and ginger powders can be replaced with fresh minced versions, but adjust the amounts. You can skip the olive oil if you prefer a lighter marinade. Fresh herbs like parsley or green onions also make great garnishes. To start, you need to make the marinade. Grab a medium mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of honey. Then, pour in 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce. Next, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of ginger powder. Finally, pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper too. Whisk all these ingredients together until they blend smoothly. This mixture will give your salmon a sweet and spicy kick. Now, it’s time to marinate the salmon. You should have one pound of salmon fillet, cut into bite-sized pieces. Gently add the salmon pieces into the marinade. Make sure each piece is covered well with the sauce. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes. If you have more time, you can leave it in the fridge for up to 1 hour. This lets the flavors soak in deeply. Once the salmon has marinated, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This step is important for crispy bites. After preheating, take the salmon out of the marinade and place it in the air fryer basket. Arrange the pieces in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket; this helps them cook evenly. Air fry the salmon for about 8 to 10 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through. This ensures even crisping. When done, the salmon should be cooked through and crispy on the edges. Carefully transfer the salmon bites to a serving plate. Now, they’re ready to be enjoyed! I recommend cooking your salmon bites at 390°F (200°C). This high heat gives a nice crisp. Aim for about 8-10 minutes. Check it halfway and shake the basket for even cooking. If your salmon is thick, it may need a little extra time. To ensure perfectly cooked salmon, marinate for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavors soak in. If you have time, let it sit for 1 hour in the fridge. This makes a big difference in taste. When you cook, look for a firm texture. The fish should flake easily with a fork. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color. You can also use lime slices on the platter. This adds a nice contrast and freshness. For extra heat, drizzle more Sriracha on top. Pair it with a cooling cucumber salad to balance the spice. Present everything nicely on a large platter for a feast that looks great! {{image_4}} If you want to change up the taste, try different sauces. For a sweet touch, you can use teriyaki sauce instead of honey. This gives a nice blend of sweet and salty. For a tangy kick, mix in some lime juice with the Sriracha. You can also use a spicy BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor. Each sauce offers a new twist to the dish. Salmon is great, but feel free to try other seafood. Shrimp works wonderfully with the same marinade. Just adjust the cooking time to about 6-8 minutes. You can also use firm white fish like cod or halibut. Cut it into bite-sized pieces and follow the same steps. Each type of fish brings its unique flavor to the dish. Pair these salmon bites with various sides to enhance your meal. A cool cucumber salad balances the heat well. You can also serve them with jasmine rice for a filling option. Lime wedges add a fresh zest when served on the side. If you want extra heat, drizzle more Sriracha on top before serving. These pairings make the dish more delicious and enjoyable. To keep your salmon bites fresh, place them in an airtight container. You want to store them in the fridge. They stay good for about 2-3 days. If you need to stack them, use parchment paper between layers. This helps keep them from sticking together. When you’re ready to enjoy leftovers, reheating is easy. Use your air fryer for the best results. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 5 minutes. This keeps the salmon crispy. You can also use a microwave, but it may make the salmon a bit soggy. If you use the microwave, heat in short bursts to avoid overcooking. Freezing is a great option if you want to save some bites. Place the cooled salmon in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze it for about an hour. Once firm, transfer the salmon to a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible. This way, it stays good for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating. You can check if the salmon is done by using a fork. Gently flake the salmon. If it flakes easily and has a light pink color, it is ready. The internal temperature should be 145°F (63°C). If you do not have a meat thermometer, look for a nice, crispy edge. This shows the salmon is cooked well. Yes, you can make this recipe using a regular oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily. This method will still give you tasty Honey Sriracha Salmon Bites. You can serve these salmon bites with a few tasty sides. A fresh cucumber salad will cool the heat from the Sriracha. You can also pair it with lime slices for a zesty kick. If you want more spice, drizzle extra Sriracha on top.
