Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds skinless salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 sliced scallions
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Cooking instructions

1. Pat the salmon dry and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Remove any pin bones. (about 5 min)
2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce for serving, then toss the salmon cubes with the remaining sauce. (about 3 min)
3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with cooking spray and arrange the salmon in a single layer, leaving space between pieces. (about 3 min) — 400°F
4. Air fry the salmon for 6 to 8 minutes, turning or shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the thickest pieces reach 145°F internally. (about 8 min) — 400°F
5. Transfer the salmon to a serving dish. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve immediately. (about 2 min)
