There is nothing quite like a quick salmon dinner when you are short on time but still want something delicious. These bite sized pieces cook up in minutes and turn out perfectly golden, making them a regular favorite in my kitchen.

My top tip for this recipe is to pat the salmon very dry with a paper towel before you sear it. This helps the seasoning stick better and ensures you get those beautiful caramelized edges we all love.

Ingredients

1.5 pounds salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish

8Instructions

1
Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
3
Add the salmon cubes to the pan in a single layer and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4
Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
5
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6
Whisk in the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
7
Add the salmon back into the pan and toss gently to coat every piece in the glaze.
8
Remove from the heat and garnish with green onions before serving.

Tips

These bites are wonderful served over steamed white rice or a side of sautéed broccoli. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them gently in a pan.
