Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Salmon Bites is a simple process. Follow these steps to enjoy this delicious dish:
1. Prep the Salmon: Start by cutting the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. This will ensure even cooking and easy eating.
2. Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Add the salmon pieces to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the Salmon: Once the pan is hot, add the marinated salmon bites. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden color.
6. Baste for Flavor: While cooking, use a spoon to drizzle some of the marinade over the salmon bites. This will enhance the flavor and keep them moist.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the pan. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful finish.
8. Serve Immediately: These salmon bites are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet while they are still warm.
