Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste for spice level)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari (optional, for extra umami)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Salmon

  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step 2: Cook the Salmon

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Hot Honey Glaze

  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add honey, sriracha, soy sauce (if using), and lemon juice. Stir until the glaze bubbles and thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4: Coat the Salmon

  1. Return the cooked salmon to the skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece in the hot honey glaze.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  1. Transfer the glazed salmon bites to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Salmon: Opt for high-quality, fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: Add more or less sriracha to suit your heat preference.
  • Nonstick Skillet: A nonstick pan helps prevent the honey glaze from sticking or burning.
  • Don’t Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly; remove it as soon as it’s opaque and flakes easily.
