Air Fryer Hoisin & Honey Salmon Bites
Hoisin Salmon Bites are quick, flavour-packed, and incredibly easy to make in the air fryer. Tender chunks of salmon are coated in a sweet, savoury and slightly spicy hoisin glaze, then cooked until beautifully on the outside and juicy in the middle. Perfect for a speedy midweek dinner, a high-protein lunch, or serving up as part of a sharing platter.

Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets cut into bite-size pieces
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or light soy
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tsp sriracha more or less to taste
- 1 tsp sesame oil optional
Instructions
- Add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, ginger, sriracha and sesame oil to a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Add the salmon pieces and gently toss until they are evenly coated in the sauce. Optionally reserve some of the sauce to add at the end.
- Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C, turning once if needed. Check they are cooked through, if not, return to the air fryer for a further 2 minutes.
- Spoon over any remaining sauce from the bowl and serve straight away.
Notes
- Removing the skin is optional, I prefer to leave the skin on as it crisps up nicely in the air fryer.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed for the best caramelisation.
- For a milder version, reduce or omit the sriracha.
- These salmon bites are delicious served with rice, noodles, in wraps, or as part of a bowl with crunchy salad.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.
