Description
Quick and flavorful honey garlic salmon bites cooked in under 15 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Add the salmon pieces and gently toss to coat; marinate in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat; if needed, add a drizzle of oil.
- Arrange salmon in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until caramelized. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until opaque and flaky.
- If there’s remaining marinade, pour it into the pan and let it bubble for 30–60 seconds before spooning it over the salmon. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy or tamari for gluten-free. Swap maple syrup for honey if needed. For a nuttier finish, replace half the olive oil with toasted sesame oil. If using frozen salmon, thaw and pat dry before cutting.
