WOULD YOU EAT THIS TREMENDOUS AIR FRYER SALMON BITES WITH HOT HONEY
Ingredients:
For the Salmon Bites:
1 lb salmon fillet, skinless and cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large egg, beaten
Olive oil spray
For the Hot Honey:
1/4 cup honey
1-2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions:
Prepare the hot honey: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using). Set aside.
Prepare the salmon bites: In one bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten egg. In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Coat the salmon: Dredge each salmon piece in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
Air fry the salmon: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Lightly spray the tops of the salmon bites with olive oil. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Serve: Drizzle the hot honey over the crispy salmon bites or serve on the side for dipping. Enjoy this delicious, spicy-sweet treat!
