Tips for Perfect Results
Use what you have: Frozen or canned mango and passion fruit work beautifully — just make sure to thaw and drain before layering.
Adjust sweetness: Depending on your fruit’s ripeness, you may not need any added sweetener at all. Taste before adding honey or syrup.
For extra creaminess: Stir in a spoonful of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk when assembling.
Make it a parfait: Alternate more layers of oats and fruit in a jar for a beautiful tropical breakfast treat.
Chill properly: Let the oats rest at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the creamiest texture.
Recipe FAQs
Can I use frozen or canned fruit?
Absolutely! Frozen mango or passion fruit pulp work great — just thaw before using. Canned versions are also fine if they’re unsweetened or lightly sweetened.
How long do overnight oats keep?
They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. Just give them a stir before serving, and add fresh toppings if desired.
Can I make this with dairy-free milk?
Yes! Almond, oat, coconut, or soy milk all work well — choose your favorite.
Is it okay to skip the sweetener?
Totally! If your mango is nice and ripe, it’ll likely be sweet enough on its own.
What’s the best way to serve it?
Straight from the fridge! You can also top it with extra fruit, a spoonful of yogurt, or even some granola for crunch.
Air Fryer Salmon Bites
Ingredients
- 300 –400 g salmon or trout skinless, boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp 45 ml soy sauce or tamari
- 1½ tbsp 30 g honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp 15 ml neutral oil (sesame, sunflower, etc.)
Instructions
- Place the bite-sized pieces of salmon into a mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, sesame seeds, and a splash of oil directly to the bowl.
- Gently toss everything together until the salmon is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Let the salmon marinate for 15–20 minutes at room temperature. This allows the fish to absorb the flavors and develop a rich glaze when cooked.
- Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Arrange the marinated salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. If needed, cook in batches.
- Air fry the salmon for 7–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden on the outside and tender on the inside. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the pieces.
- Serve the salmon bites over rice, a fresh salad, or steamed vegetables. For extra flavor and presentation, sprinkle with additional sesame seeds or sliced green onions just before serving.
Notes
- Use skinless salmon if you want evenly cooked bites and easy serving. But skin-on works too — it gets deliciously crispy in the air fryer!
- Don’t skip the marinating time. Even 15–20 minutes helps infuse the salmon with sweet-salty flavor.
- Avoid overcrowding. Make sure the salmon pieces are in a single layer in the air fryer basket for even cooking and a golden finish.
- Love extra flavor? Add a dash of garlic powder or a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade.
- No air fryer? You can bake the salmon at 200°C (400°F) for 10–12 minutes or pan-sear it on medium heat.
- Pair it with: steamed jasmine rice, soba noodles, a fresh cucumber salad, or stir-fried veggies for a complete meal.
- Want a glossy finish? Brush the cooked salmon with a little extra marinade (boiled briefly) before serving.
