Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Add salmon pieces in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Flip salmon bites gently and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until just cooked through but still tender.
  6. Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon in the pan. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly. Let the sauce bubble and thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Dry salmon thoroughly before cooking to ensure crispiness. Keep heat moderate when adding glaze to avoid burning the honey. Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos. For paleo, use avocado oil and raw honey.
