a bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, smoked paprika, white vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the hot honey sauce. Set aside.

Preheat the air fryer to 425°F (220°C).

Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Place the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Air fry the salmon at 425°F (220°C) for 4-5 minutes.

Carefully flip the salmon pieces and air fry for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Once flipped, generously brush the hot honey sauce over the salmon pieces. Feel free to brush the sauce on a few times during the remaining cooking time for extra flavor. Ensure each piece is coated with the sauce.

Continue to air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the salmon has a crispy exterior and the sauce is caramelized.

Remove the salmon from the air fryer and transfer to a plate or bowl.
