Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 cutting board
- 1 tongs or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon fillet skin removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the salmon fillet under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.

- In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes for maximum flavor.

- Once preheated, arrange the marinated salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook the salmon bites for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Carefully remove the salmon bites from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
