# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon cubes and gently toss until evenly coated.
03 -
Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 60-63°C (140-145°F). Work in batches if necessary.

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, combine butter, honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 12-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to a glossy consistency.

Add the cooked salmon bites to the skillet and gently toss to coat thoroughly in the honey garlic sauce.

Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while hot.

The sauce can be made ahead and reheated when needed.
