Ingredients

So, there are only 7 ingredients you need to make these salmon bites.

And they're all easy enough to find at your nearest grocery store - or maybe even in your pantry.

Anyway, with that said, here's everything you'll need to make this recipe:

• 1 Big Skinless Salmon Fillet, cut into large chunks
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 2 tbsp. Blackened Seasoning
• 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

And to make the glaze:

• 2 tbsp. Butter
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 1 tsp. Garlic Clove, minced

Pretty common stuff, right?

Now, the most important ingredient for this salmon recipe - aside from the skinless salmon fillets, of course - is going to be your blackened seasoning.

But don't worry blackened seasoning should be easy enough to find at your local grocer, or even online. And if you like blackened seasoned dishes, another great gluten free one to try is our blackened shrimp!

How To Make Salmon Bites

Again, making these salmon bites couldn't be simpler. It honestly might be the easiest salmon recipe you'll ever make!

Basically, all you have to do is broil the seasoned salmon bites, then top them with the honey butter garlic glaze, and serve.

All in all, this recipe takes around 25 minutes in total, and if you don't have an oven, I've also included some steps on how you can make air fryer salmon bites.

Alright, let's not waste any more time and get into this super delicious recipe!

Step 1: Season the Salmon Filets

First, preheat the oven to broil.

However, if your oven doesn't have a broiler function, you can place the rack of the oven as high up and close to the heating mechanism as possible and set the oven to about 500°F (260°C).

Now, slice your fresh salmon into large chunks and then season salmon pieces with salt, blackened seasoning, and olive oil.

Step 2: Broil the Salmon

Next, line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the seasoned salmon pieces in an even layer with a little space between each one.

Then, broil the salmon cubes in the oven for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove them from the oven, flip the half cooked salmon pieces over, and broil them for 5 more minutes.

Continue checking on them until you see the cooked salmon turn golden brown.

Step 3: Make the Glaze

In the meantime, melt the butter in a medium sized bowl in the microwave.

When it's melted, combine it with the honey and garlic to make the glaze.

Once your salmon is cooked, top the bites with the glaze and a little lemon juice and serve with your choice of sides - I like pairing the crispy salmon skin bites with this Instant Pot sushi rice or coconut rice, with some steamed veggies.

But, they're a super delicious meal on their own, too, or eaten with a creamy sauce like this tartar sauce.

Air Fryer Salmon Bites

So, if you want to make air fryer salmon bites, season your salmon fillets exactly as listed above, then follow these instructions.

Instead of preheating the broiler, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (198°C).

Then, once your air fryer is up to temperature, place your salmon bites in the air fryer basket and cook for 7-9 minutes - and don't forget to flip the air fryer salmon bites halfway through!

Once the air fryer salmon bites reach an internal temperature of 145°F it's done.

How To Store Salmon Bites

This recipe will make 2 servings of salmon bites. So it's great to split with someone for dinner or have yourself and keep some leftovers for the next day! With that said, if you want more, you can easily double or triple the recipe.

Oh, and if you have leftovers, they are terrific to put in this salmon rice bowl for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. So definitely consider making the salmon bites bowl with the leftovers.

Also, just so you know, you can store the leftover salmon bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days.

How To Reheat Salmon Bites

This salmon is actually delicious cold, but if you want, you can reheat it.

To reheat your cubed salmon in the oven, preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Place your salmon bites on a sheet pan and warm for 10-15 minutes until thoroughly heated.

Or, to reheat your salmon bites in the air fryer, turn the air fryer to 350°F (176°C) and place the salmon bites in the air fryer. Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

You could even make pan fried salmon for reheating the leftovers. To do that, put a pan over medium high heat or medium heat and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the pan fried salmon is warmed through. 

Wrapping It Up

Well, that's how to make salmon bites!

These bites are without a doubt one of the most flavorful salmon recipes you can make. Each one is bursting with the deliciousness of sticky garlic glaze, savory spices, and tender, flaky salmon.

It's definitely an easy fish dinner recipe worth making over and over again!
