Tips

  • For salmon bites, the skin can be removed or left on based on preference.
  • When air frying salmon, ensure pieces are in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey or hot pepper sesame oil based on your spice preference.
  • The chopper makes dicing vegetables much easier and quicker for the salsa.
  • Make sure to taste test the mango salsa to adjust seasonings to your liking before serving.
  • It's better to cook rice first, but it is okay to cook it after marinating the salmon as the salmon can marinate a little bit more.
  • Remove some of the seeds from the jalapen for less spice in the salsa
