Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skinless and boneless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Start by cutting your fresh salmon fillets into bite-sized pieces, roughly one-inch cubes, ensuring even cooking later. Pat them dry with paper towels to help them sear beautifully.
  2. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce will give your salmon bites that irresistible sweet and savory glaze.
  3. Sear the Salmon Bites: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon bites and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden and slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. Glaze the Salmon: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon bites in the pan and toss gently to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to each piece beautifully.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness, and serve immediately while warm and saucy.

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry ensures a perfect sear and prevents sogginess.
  • Use high heat for searing to lock in juices and create a delightful texture.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon; it cooks quickly and should remain tender inside.
  • Use fresh garlic for the most vibrant flavor instead of pre-minced garlic.
  • Let the sauce reduce and thicken in the pan to intensify flavor and cling to each bite.
