Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Don’t let the air fryer intimidate you! It is my absolute favorite way to cook salmon. Follow my tips below to make these glazed honey garlic salmon bites a success.

  • What is the Cooking Temperature for Salmon? Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. There is nothing like perfectly cooked salmon because it is flakey and moist! Cooking salmon bites in the air fryer is a very fast method. Watch it closely so you don’t overcook them.
  • Fresh or Frozen Salmon: Fresh salmon filets are best, but if you need to use frozen salmon make sure to thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. To thaw salmon quickly, you can place frozen salmon in a sealable Ziplock bag and submerge it in COLD water for 30 minutes or until thawed. However, make sure the salmon stays cold.
  • How to Serve Salmon Bites: These air fryer salmon bites are so versatile. They are super high in protein and can be served in many ways. Enjoy them on a salad, in a bowl, as tacos, or with a side of rice and veggies. You could even serve these as an appetizer! Double the recipe so you can enjoy them all week long.

Storing and Reheating Leftover Salmon

These glazed honey garlic salmon bites can last for up to 3-4 days when stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to eat your leftovers, reheat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 minutes. It keeps the texture perfectly flaky every time!
