Time to Cook

Steps to Make It

1. Start by cutting the salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces. Make sure they are uniform so they cook evenly. This will help with the texture and ensure every piece is delicious.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended. The aroma of the garlic and honey will make your kitchen smell amazing.
3. Add the salmon pieces to the bowl and toss gently to coat them in the marinade. Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to soak in and makes the salmon even tastier.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon bites to the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle as they hit the pan.
5. Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. They should flake easily with a fork when done. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
6. Once cooked, remove the salmon bites from the skillet and drizzle any remaining honey garlic sauce over them. This adds a lovely glaze and extra flavor.
7. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. The colors will make your dish pop and look extra appetizing. Serve them warm over rice or a fresh salad.

Make It Perfect

• For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• You can also grill the salmon bites for a smoky flavor.

Mix It Up

• Try using different fish, like trout or tilapia, if you want to switch things up.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli to the skillet for a complete meal.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with steamed rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
• Pair with a light salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
