Ginger Glazed Salmon Bites (Air Fryer)

If you have an air fryer, you need to give me Ginger Glazed Salmon Bites a try!

Tender salmon coated with a savory ginger glaze sauce, this Air Fryer Ginger Glazed Salmon Bites is a must-try recipe.

This salmon recipe is perfect for kids, as the bite-sized salmon bites are easy to eat, and each salmon is super tender and coated in a delicious glaze that is finger-licking good! 

I’ve been seeing salmon bites all over TikTok, so I had to recreate my own Ginger Glazed Salmon Bites that are super easy to make at home.

Since the salmon is cut into bite-sized pieces, each piece is crispy on the outside and tender and flakey on the inside.

The secret trick that keeps the salmon moist even after the air frying is using MAYO.

Mayo has fat, so not only does it flavor the salmon, but it also provides a barrier, so the salmon stays crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. 

You only need a few simple ingredients to make Ginger Glazed Salmon Bites.

Salmon, Fresh ginger, honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and pepper, and Japanese Mayo. If you are allergic to shellfish, you can also substitute oyster sauce with vegetarian oyster sauce.

Optional, but highly recommend, make a honey glaze sauce to drizzle over the salmon.

The glaze is also easy to make; all you need is soy sauce, ginger, honey, and water. Thicken on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, and thicken with a corn starch slurry. 

I am using an Air Fryer today since it saves time and is mess-free.

I’m going being honest; I was a little skeptical about the hype when I first heard about air fryers and didn’t realize how EASY it was to make delicious meals with them.

As I incorporate air fryers more and more into my cooking arsenal, I realized how useful they are!

I did a blog post breaking down and comparing the top 4 selling air fryers on Amazon based on pricing, size, function, and even a crispy chicken wings test! So if you are interested in buying an air fryer, check out the blog post!
