Ingredients
1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1/4 cup low sodium tamari
1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
Cube the salmon fillets into uniform one-inch pieces.
Whisk together tamari, oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, ginger, and vinegar in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and toss to coat; let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until the edges are caramelized and the center is flaky.
Garnish with green onions before serving.
Notes
Ensure the salmon pieces are cut into similar sizes for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain proper airflow. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
