Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Transform fresh salmon into delectable, bite-sized morsels by precisely cutting into uniform cubes and seasoning with salt and pepper to enhance natural flavors.
- Craft a vibrant marinade by whisking together golden honey, robust soy sauce, aromatic minced garlic, and zesty lemon juice until ingredients harmonize smoothly.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, creating a perfect searing environment for salmon pieces.
- Carefully place salmon cubes into hot pan, allowing each side to caramelize into a rich golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per surface.
- Generously drizzle prepared honey garlic sauce over sizzling salmon, reducing heat to let sauce gently thicken and coat each morsel with glossy, intense flavor.
- Monitor sauce closely as it transforms from liquid to sticky glaze, ensuring salmon remains tender and succulent without overcooking.
- Transfer glistening salmon bites to serving platter, elegantly garnishing with finely chopped green onions for a fresh, crisp accent that complements the sweet and savory profile.
- Serve immediately while warm, allowing diners to experience the perfect balance of caramelized exterior and juicy interior.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the most succulent and flavorful bites.
- Pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy, golden exterior when searing.
- Adjust honey garlic sauce sweetness by adding more or less honey based on personal preference.
- For a low-carb option, replace honey with sugar-free maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener.
