If you’re looking for quick and easy dinner recipes healthy, these Honey Garlic Salmon Bites are the perfect dish!
Ingredients
For the Salmon Bites:
-
- 1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- ½ teaspoon salt
-
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
- ½ teaspoon paprika
For the Honey Garlic Glaze:
-
- 2 tablespoons butter
-
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
-
- 3 tablespoons honey
-
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
-
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For Garnish (Optional):
-
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
-
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or green onions, chopped
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, toss the salmon with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the salmon bites to the skillet and toss gently in the glaze, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fully coated.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh parsley. Serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or with roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
✔ Use Fresh Salmon – Fresh fillets hold their shape better than frozen.
✔ Don’t Overcook – Salmon cooks quickly; 2-3 minutes per side is enough.
✔ Let the Glaze Thicken – Simmer the sauce until slightly sticky for better coating.
