How To Make Honey Hot Salmon Bites Tacos with Mango Salsa

These tacos come together in three easy parts: cooking the salmon, mixing the salsa, and assembling your tacos.

1. Season and air fry the salmon – Toss 1 lb of salmon chunks with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes.
2. Glaze and crisp – While the salmon is hot, coat with a mixture of honey, sriracha, and melted butter. Return to the air fryer for 3 more minutes to caramelize.
3. Mix the mango cucumber salsa – In a bowl, combine diced mango, cucumber, jalapeño, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper.
4. Assemble the tacos – Warm corn tortillas in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds per side. Spread with guac or mashed avocado, top with hot honey salmon bites, spoon over mango salsa, and sprinkle with crumbled feta. Done!

Course Main Course

Servings 6 people

Calories 354kcal

Ingredients

• 1 lb Salmon cut into 1" chunks
• 1/2 tsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Paprika

Hot Honey Glaze

• 2 tbsp Honey
• 2 tbsp Sriracha

Mango Salsa

• 2 each Mango peeled and diced
• 1/2 each Cucumber diced
• 1 each Jalapeno Pepper seeded and minced
• 1/4 cup Cilanto finely chopped
• 3 tbsp Lime Juice
• Salt and Pepper to taste

For The Tacos

• 12 Corn Tortillas heated
• Guacamole store-bought or homemade
• Feta crumbled
• Cilantro finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare The Salmon Bites

• In a medium bowl, toss the salmon chunks with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. Place the seasoned salmon in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 6 minutes.

Make the Hot Honey Glaze

• While the salmon cooks, whisk together the honey and sriracha in a small bowl. After the 6 minutes, remove the salmon and toss it gently in the glaze until well-coated. Return the glazed salmon to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until slightly caramelized and cooked through.

Prepare the Mango Salsa

• Combine the diced mango, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Warm the Tortillas

• Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each corn tortilla for 20–30 seconds per side until soft and pliable. Wrap in a clean towel to keep warm while you assemble the tacos.

Assemble the Tacos

• Spread a spoonful of mashed avocado or guacamole onto each tortilla. Top with hot honey salmon bites, a generous spoonful of mango salsa, crumbled feta and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Tips:

• No guacamole? No problem. Mash a ripe avocado with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt for a quick swap.
• For extra heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or drizzle extra sriracha on top.
• Store all components separately in air-tight containers in the fridge. Salmon will keep for up to 3 days.
