Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon filets, chopped into cubes (392 g)
  • 2 tsp Hot honey (10 g)
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp Paprika
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tsp Olive oil (5 g)

Instructions

  • If your salmon is frozen, thaw it by placing it in the fridge overnight or in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F while you prep your salmon.
  • Pat the salmon dry and chop it into bite-sized cubes.
  • Drizzle the cubed salmon with hot honey, and sprinkle it with seasoning. My measurements are estimates since I really just sprinkle everything on top.
  • Spray the salmon with a quick mist of olive oil spray and add it to your preheated air fryer. Cook at 400 degrees F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Enjoy these salmon bites on rice bowls or salads, or tucked into tacos or wraps. We love them over rice with cucumbers, carrots, avocado, and a little sriracha mayo!

Notes

Find in MFP with “Lillie Eats and Tells Hot Honey Salmon Bites, Sockeye.”
Salmon: Use whatever you love! This recipe is calculated using the Costco Atlantic Salmon. You can definitely use wild-caught which will lower fats quite a bit. Macros using Costco’s frozen wild caught sockeye salmon at 8 fat/6 oz portion = 200 calories, 8 fat, 2.7 carbs, 29.4 protein, 0 fiber.
Hot honey: This has become so popular, that you can find it at most stores near the honey. Feel free to swap the hot honey out for regular honey.
Sriracha Mayo: Whisk a few tablespoons of mayo, 1-2 tsp sriracha, and 2-3 tsp water together. For logging your macros, log the mayo you use (in a slightly lesser portion to take into account the water and sriracha!)
