Honey Mustard Salmon Bites
by: claire cary
These honey mustard salmon bite are the perfect flavorful, healthy and easy dinner recipe when you're in a pinch. They're air fried until crispy, served with rice and veggies and marinated in a homemade honey mustard sauce you'll want to put on everything.
Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 ½ pounds salmon
- ⅓ cup dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Bowl
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- ½ cup fresh parsley or basil chopped
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into roughly 1 inch cubes using a very sharp knife. I love salmon skin (when it's crispy) so I keep the skin on but you can remove the skin before if you prefer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk up the mustard, honey, melted butter, spices, salt and pepper and lemon juice. Set aside about 1/3 cup to reserve for drizzling on top of the bowls.
- Add the salmon cubes to the mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Set aside for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Toward the end of the 30 minutes, preheat the air fryer to 380 Fahrenheit and grease the air fryer basket.
- Add the salmon pieces to the air fryer, keeping aside any extra marinade in the bowl.
- Air fry for 7-9 minutes, shaking halfway through, or until crispy and the salmon flakes easily. Serve over rice, the shredded lettuce, herbs and a drizzle of the honey mustard. I also love some chili crunch on top or sliced cucumber for crunch. Enjoy!
Notes
I like dijon mustard here, but you can use a mix of yellow and dijon mustard if you prefer or even a grainy mustard if you like some texture.
