Ingredients
- 2 salmon filets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Pat salmon filets dry and cut into 1-inch squares.
- In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, water, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Place salmon bites in the mixture, coat thoroughly, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Arrange salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring space for even air circulation.
- Air fry for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Check for an internal temperature of 140-1450F (60-630C) and serve immediately with desired toppings.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping. This ensures the hot air circulates properly around each bite. - Patting the salmon dry before marinating is crucial for a better sear and to help the marinade adhere. - To prevent overcooking, remove the salmon once it reaches an internal temperature of 140-145°F (60-63°C). Fish continues to cook slightly after removal due to residual heat, ensuring it stays moist.
