Prepare quick, flavorful salmon bites coated in a sticky honey garlic glaze. This recipe works well for a fast weeknight dinner or an easy appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels. Season lightly with pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Whisk the cornstarch slurry and pour it into the simmering sauce. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  6. Return the seared salmon bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly with the honey garlic glaze. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the salmon is heated through and fully glazed.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, toss the seasoned salmon cubes with 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture before cooking at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. Toss with the remaining glaze after cooking.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving for added color and flavor.
