Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh skinless salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey (honey infused with chili)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Start by cutting fresh salmon into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform chunks for even cooking.
  2. Mix the marinade: Combine hot honey, olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to form a luscious glaze that will infuse your bites with flavor.
  3. Marinate the salmon: Toss the salmon pieces gently in the marinade to coat every side, then let them sit for 10-15 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  4. Cook the bites: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon bites for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust and are cooked through.
  5. Glaze and finish: In the last minute of cooking, drizzle a little extra hot honey over the bites to caramelize and give them a sticky, mouthwatering finish.

Notes

  • Use the freshest salmon available for the most tender and flavorful bites.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to ensure each bite sears perfectly instead of steaming.
  • Adjust the heat by tasting your hot honey first; add gradually to reach your preferred spice level.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve a nice crust.
  • Allow the salmon bites to rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to seal in juices.
