Ingredients
- 5 salmon filets , skinless
Marinade
- ⅓ cup (80g) hoisin sauce
- ⅓ cup (80g) soy sauce , dark
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp ginger , minced (thumb-sized piece fresh ginger)
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 2 tbsp honey or Keto friendly equivalent
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or Sukrin Gold
To thicken marinade
- 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) diluted in a little cold water
To serve
- 5 spring onions , green part only, finely diced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or Furikake seasoning
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients – sesame oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy and hoisin sauce, honey, brown sugar, minced garlic – in a bowl. Transfer roughly half of the marinade into a saucepan.
- Slice the salmon fillets into evenly sized cubes. Add the salmon to the marinade bowl and gently mix together.
- Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 400°F / 200°C. Place a silicone liner into the air fryer basket (makes clean up a lot easier) and spread the salmon cubes over it in a single layer. You will need to cook in batches, depending on the size of your equipment.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is slightly caramelised at the edges but still juicy and tender within.
- Add cornstarch slurry to the saucepan with the marinade and stir over medium heat for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve the salmon bites with the sticky sauce, sprinkled with Furikake seasoning or toasted sesame seeds and finely diced spring onions.

Notes
- RECIPE NOTES
- Store leftovers in a suitable container in your refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in the air fryer at 400°F / 200°C for a few minutes.
- No marinade? No problem! Simply season your salmon chunks with garlic powder, salt, pepper and your fave seasoning – I suggest Cajun or Old Bay seasoning. Mist the salmon with olive oil spray and cook as instructed.
- For crisp yet tender salmon bites preheat your air fryer first.
- Use a silicone liner to prevent the salmon from sticking and to make clean-up a breeze.
- Since the marinade is packed with umami goodness we are not adding any extra salt. See recipe notes if you want to skip the marinade.
- Salmon cooks quickly in the air fryer and even more quickly when diced into cubes. Air fry for 4-5 minutes adding an extra minute or so until it is cooked to your liking.
- Take the salmon out of the air fryer as soon as it beeps to avoid it overcooking and becoming dry.
- If using frozen salmon, allow it thaw overnight in the refrigerator before making this recipe.Take a look at this article if you need to skin the salmon fillets before using.
