Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, ensuring uniform pieces. Toss the salmon cubes in the prepared marinade until well-coated. Refrigerate for 10 to 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
  4. Arrange the marinated salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove the salmon bites once golden and crispy. Garnish with optional toppings and serve.
