These spicy sweet hot honey salmon bites are the perfect blend of heat and sweetness, making them a crowd-pleaser for dinner, lunch, or even appetizers. Bite-sized chunks of salmon are glazed with a sticky, flavorful hot honey sauce that caramelizes beautifully, leaving every piece irresistibly tender and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
  • Hot honey (store-bought or homemade with honey and hot sauce)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (or air fryer to 390°F).
  2. Cut salmon into evenly sized cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, toss salmon with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Spread salmon in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or air fryer basket.
  5. Bake or air fry for 8–10 minutes, until cooked through and lightly crisped on edges.
  6. Warm hot honey in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Drizzle hot honey over salmon and gently toss to coat.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Swap salmon for shrimp or chicken for variation.
  • For extra crunch, coat salmon in a light layer of cornstarch before baking.
  • Use sugar-free honey alternative for a low-sugar version.
  • Add a splash of soy sauce or lime juice to enhance flavor depth.
  • Grill the salmon bites for a smoky twist.
