Recipe Makes (Approximate):
Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites
- 1 pound salmon (chopped into bite-sized cubes)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
For the Sauce
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½-1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (start with ½ teaspoon, it can be so salty depending on brand)
- 1 tablespoon water (or half and half, for thinning)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Pat the salmon as dry as possible using kitchen towel, and chop into bite-sized cubes. Preheat the air fryer to 400℉.
- Whisk together the honey, oil, water, and Cajun seasoning for the salmon. Pour half honey sauce over salmon and toss to coat. Cook at 400℉ for 2-4 minutes. 2 minutes will cook the salmon to medium, 4 minutes will cook it well done.
- Toss the cooked salmon bites in the remaining marinade just before serving.
Recipe Notes
Leftovers: Salmon is always best eating freshly cooked, but leftovers can be stores in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can re-heat them gently in the air fryer at a lower-than-usual temp if you cooked the salmon to medium, but to avoid drying the pieces out if they're already well done they'd be better enjoying cold.
