If you are looking for a quick dinner that still feels special, this recipe is a total winner. The salmon turns out tender on the inside while the edges get a perfect golden sear, making them impossible to stop eating.

My biggest tip is to make sure your pan is hot before adding the fish. This helps you get that lovely caramelized glaze without overcooking the salmon. It really is the best way to get a restaurant quality meal in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds salmon fillets, 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
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

6Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the salmon cubes dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

  3. 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. 4

    While the salmon cooks, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the salmon and let it bubble for about 1 minute until it thickens into a glossy glaze.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat immediately, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve right away.

Tips

These bites taste best served over steamed white rice or roasted broccoli. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and gently reheat them in a pan.
