Description
Delicious air fryer salmon served with a crunchy snap pea slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound wild-caught salmon (deboned and skin removed)
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 inch piece of ginger
- ½ pound snap peas (thinly sliced)
- 2 Persian cucumbers (quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced)
- 2 cups purple cabbage (finely shredded)
- ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- White or brown rice (cooked (optional))
Instructions
- Dice the salmon into 1 ½-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, and ginger. Add in salmon pieces and toss to coat well. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. (Or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
- Place the salmon pieces in the basket of your air fryer and cook at 375°F for 7-8 minutes, until just cooked through. (Alternatively, you can bake in a 400°F oven for 5-6 minutes and finish under the broiler for 2 minutes, watching carefully.)
- While the salmon is cooking, make your slaw. In a large bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, vinegar, honey, sesame seeds, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add in the sliced snap peas, cucumber, and cabbage and toss to coat.
- Serve salmon bites with a big serving of crunchy slaw and a side of rice. Enjoy!
- Store leftover salmon bites and snap pea slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat the salmon bites in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through. You can also gently reheat in a skillet. Avoid microwaving, if possible, to maintain texture.
- Slaw Tips: The snap pea slaw is best enjoyed fresh but will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge. If storing longer, keep the dressing separate and toss before serving.
- Make Ahead: Marinate the salmon up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the refrigerator. You can also slice the snap peas, cucumber, and cabbage ahead of time for easy assembly.
Notes
- The snap pea slaw is best enjoyed fresh.
- If storing longer, keep the dressing separate.
- Marinate the salmon for up to 24 hours in advance for better flavor.
