📝 Ingredients:

1 lb skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp grated ginger (optional)
2 tbsp water
1 tsp sesame seeds, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Salmon:
Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, toss with cornstarch, olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully coated.

2. Air Fry the Salmon:
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange salmon in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.

3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant 🍯. Stir in soy sauce, honey, and water. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.

4. Coat and Serve:
Toss crispy salmon bites in the warm honey garlic glaze ✨. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately — so good!
