Method
 

Step 1: Prep the Salmon
  1. Cut salmon into evenly sized cubes, about one inch each. Pat dry and toss lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer
  1. Preheat to ensure the salmon starts cooking immediately, which helps with texture.
Step 3: Air Fry the Salmon
  1. Arrange salmon bites in a single layer. Air fry until just cooked through, turning once for even browning.
Step 4: Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
  1. While the salmon cooks, gently simmer honey, soy sauce, garlic, and acid until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 5: Coat the Salmon
  1. Toss cooked salmon bites in the warm sauce until evenly glazed. Avoid prolonged heat to keep the honey from burning.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
  1. Finish with sesame seeds or herbs if desired. Serve immediately for best texture.
