Instructions

Sear the Salmon: Start by cutting 1 lb of salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon cubes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step creates a slightly crispy texture while keeping the inside tender. When done, remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside.
Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add 4 minced garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic. Then, add 2 tbsp of honey, 2 tbsp of soy sauce, and 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 4-5 minutes or until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency. This glaze will clothe your salmon in a sweet and savory embrace.
Glaze the Salmon: Add the seared salmon back into the skillet. Toss gently in the glaze, allowing each piece to be coated. Cook together for an additional 1 minute to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
Garnish & Serve: Once well combined, remove from heat. Transfer the glazed salmon bites onto a serving plate and top with 1 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve the bites warm over a bed of rice or alongside steamed veggies for a complete meal. Enjoy this delightful dish and bask in the compliments you’ll surely receive!
