Notes
Salmon bites get more caramelized and flavorful than a whole fillet — the extra surface area means more glaze, more char, more flavor in every bite. Pair with brown rice and edamame for a protein packed bowl that keeps you full for hours.Amy's Kitchen Tips:
- Don't overcrowd the airfryer basket — more space = more char and caramelization
- Soy sauce goes on at the very end as a finishing drizzle, not into the marinade
- Lime zest in the crema makes a real difference — worth the extra 30 seconds
- Frozen edamame straight from the microwave works perfectly here
- Add avocado slices if you have them — creamy and beautiful in this bowl
- Leftovers: Reheat salmon in the airfryer 3 min at 375F to re-crisp
