Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Pour the marinade over the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat them evenly. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated salmon bites and sear for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  7. 7

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and salt.

  8. 8

    Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
