Description
These salmon bites are seasoned with a honey za’atar blend and air fried until juicy inside and crispy outside. They are ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 lb salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons za’atar
- 2 teaspoons sumac
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper, substitute with black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the za’atar, sumac, garlic powder, Aleppo pepper, kosher salt, olive oil, and honey to make a marinade. Whisk until well combined.
2. Add the skinned and cubed salmon to the bowl, then gently mix the salmon into the marinade, coating each piece well.
3. Lay the salmon pieces in the air fryer basket with at least 1/2 inch between them so they crisp up nicely.
4. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes. Cook in two batches if needed.
5. Serve alongside rice and salad for a complete meal.
Notes
If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat the oven to 425°F and place the salmon bites 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes until cooked through, then broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute on the top rack for color.
If you don’t have za’atar, replace it with any seasoning blend you like while maintaining the olive oil and honey ratios.
You don’t need to shake the air fryer basket halfway or flip them.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
