This honey glazed salmon is easy enough for a weeknight meal yet perfect for serving guests. Pair it with rice and steamed veggies for a complete dinner.
1 ½ lb salmon, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
¼ cup honey
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons chopped chives
Pat dry the salmon cubes with a paper towel and season them with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour about a tablespoon of oil and massage the salmon cubes.
Heat a heavy skillet with a tablespoon of oil, add the salmon cubes in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes by flipping them often until crispy and golden. Transfer the cooked crispy salmon cubes to a plate and cook the remaining salmon.
To the same skillet add the remaining oil and add garlic and ginger, saute for a minute.
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
Transfer the crispy salmon back to the skillet and toss it well with the sauce. Check for seasonings.
Serve the salmon bites over the rice and enjoy.
